When we set our meeting dates, we said that either the March 18 or May 13
meeting would be held in Brantford (under the statue of Chief Brant) or on
the Six Nations lands. I certainly think we should proceed with that plan
and ask for the Six Nations advice on where to hold the meeting, which date
they would prefer, and jointly plan it with them.

Susan K, please go ahead and contact the Six Nations EcoCentre about this.
Also, for relations sake, we should make sure that we keep Steen Clint in
the loop since he attended a couple of GREN meetings and we don¹t want to
insult him.

Susan K, when you contact them, please ask them who there we should contact
about the water pipeline issue so our pipeline committee can start
communicating with them.

John
