Beausoleil First Nation

Ahneen!

Beausoleil First Nation rests in the southern tip of Georgian Bay on Christian, Beckwith and Hope Islands. These magnificent islands are home to the Chippewa people. Much history can be found on the islands. More recently with the Forked Three-awned Grass. This species of grass is nicknamed "Ice Age Grass" found throughout Christian Island and is currently on the Species at Risk list.

Christian Island is home to about 700 residents year round and many others during the summer months. Tourism is abundant in Christian Island, for more information on tourism, please visit the Economic Development link found on this page.

New Ferry Schedule

Please be advised that the Chief and Council has approved a recommendation from the Transportation committee regarding the attached ferry schedule. Initially it will be implemented on a six month trial basis. After which an operational review will be conducted through my office to determine whether or not the changes will become permanent. I ask for your continued patience as we all make the adjustment to the new schedule. I plan on delivering a new schedule to all the members of Beausoleil First Nation this week so that there is some lead time before the changes are implemented.

Again I thank you all for your continued patience,

BFN Transportation Department
