PROTECT YOUR ASSETS AND YOUR FAMILY
WHY MAKE A WILL

 Make the settlement of your estate a more personal matter.
 Lessen the involvement of departmental officials in your private affairs.
 Protect any customs or traditions that should be passed on to your loved ones.
Kitigan-Zibi Anishinabeg has received a funding agreement to assist Band members in preparing
and in covering the fees of preparing their wills. These funds will only be available until
March 31, 2015.
Community members who wish to have their wills professionally prepared can contact either
Frank Meness, Lawyer, at 819-306-1059/fmeness@kafbs.ca or Joanne Lachapelle, Notary, at
819-449-7700/jlachapelle@notarius.net. For further information I can be reached at the
Community Services Administration Building, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4 pm. I could
also be available for private meetings in my office or at community members’ homes during

"The Circle has healing
power. In the Circle, we are
all equal. When in the Circle,
no one is in front of you. No
one is behind you. No one is
above you. No one is below
you. The Sacred Circle is
designed to create unity."
