It is with sadness that we announce that former TLA President and Executive Secretary Tim Gooderham passed away this past Thursday in North Bay. While there will be no service we will publish a ‘remembrance’ in the upcoming issue of the Temagami Times.

Dear Lake Temagami Residents, Campers, and Houseboat Patrons:
Re: Temagami First Nation and Teme-Augama Anishnabai request your cooperation in protecting a Grave Site on Island #895, Lake Temagami – see attached map: Burial Site Austin BayV3

On July 10, 2013, a pipe ceremony was conducted and she was re-interred on site.
