DOTC - Realization of Regionally Based
Employment Opportunities Project
We are all interdependent and have an important
stake in the health and well-being of our larger
community and economy. If we are all in it
together, collaboration and partnership lends
itself as preferred approach.
Realization of Regionally Based Employment
Opportunities is an important project initated by
Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council with the support of
the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development
Canada under auspices of its Community Support
Services Program.
The project focuses on 40 youth (18 - 24 ages)
who are ready and willing to work. DOTC and the
Portage and District Chamber of Commerce
become appropriate "catalysts or bridges" to
connect and facilitate the process between the
employers and the employees.

DOTC - RANGER - DOPS EDUCATION AND SPORTS INITIATIVE:
DEVELOPING COMMUNITIES AND LEADERS
Over the past three years, this initiative has been offered as pilot-project. The
commitment and voluntary spirit of those involved with the program is supplemented
by limited resources raised primarily from the DOTC Annual Golf Tournament. The
Tournament is well-known and attracts participants from the First Nations, Corporate
and Educational Sectors.
The education and sports initiative has been open to about 5000 students based primarily
though not exclusively within the seven members First Nations of the Tribal Council and,
those additional communities that are served by the Dakota Ojibway Police Services.
Therefore, in addition to the said communities, students/youth have been invited from
Canupawakpa Dakota Nation, Dakota Plains and Sioux Valley Dakota Nation. All our
communities are proximate to Winnipeg, Brandon, Portage la Prairie and Morden.
