I work in a small community about one hour north of Toronto, and we're host to one of the three significant commercial casinos in Ontario. So it's a bit of a unique setting whereby it's sort a of semi-rural setting on the shores of Lake Couchiching, which is just outside of Orillia, Ontario. The casino is a significant attraction to the city of Toronto and elsewhere, so it is a unique kind of blended community, if you will.
Certainly, primarily as the chief of police, I am responsible for overseeing the organization, overseeing the work that's done, liaising with the community, whether it's individual members, department heads or the political leadership, and things of that nature. Furthermore, like my friend John Syrette, I represent the nine self-administered first nations police services in Ontario at the provincial police chiefs association level. I participate on a couple of national committees through the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. When we do things like this, we really represent first nations policing. We represent our organizations, but we also represent and speak to the issues we have experienced and are trying to move forward on at a broader level. Whether it's a provincial table or a national table, we bring those issues forward.
