"After a delay of 16 years, the federal government has finalized a land claim settlement that sees Mississauga First Nation territory grow five-fold.
As of March 25, 40,000 acres of Crown land north of the first nation just east of Blind River have been transferred to the band and converted to reserve status, in a process known as 'addition to reserve.' The transfer, signed off by Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean, is outlined in the Mississauga Northern Boundary Specific Claim Settlement Agreement dated July 14, 1994.
Mississauga is holding an open house April 21 to release details of land use and forest management plans, said director of operations James Cada."
