P-1409

On the evening of September 4, 1995, a group of aboriginal protesters began to occupy Ipperwash Provincial Park (the Park), claiming that the Park lands contained an aboriginal burial site. During the night of September 6, 1995, a shooting incident occurred between some of the occupiers and the Ontario Provincial Police. One person died and two others were injured.

The occupation of the Park resulted in meetings of the "Emergency Planning for Aboriginal Issues Interministerial Committee" (the Committee). This Committee formed part of a process formalized by the Ontario government in 1991 to assist it in responding to emergency situations of this nature.

The Committee has several roles and responsibilities in guiding and co-ordinating the government's response to an emergency situation. These include: acquiring and distributing information pertinent to the particular situation; developing recommendations, both legal and non-legal in nature, for the resolution of the emergency; and co-ordinating related activities such as communication with the public.
