First Nations Landfill Operations and Maintenance Course, Location has changed

December 14, 2011 - 12:27pm

 

Update (01/09/2012): The OFNTSC Landfill Operations & Maintenance Course originally scheduled for Jan. 24-25, 2012 in Sudbury has been moved to Rama First Nation (dates remain the same).

The meeting will be held at the "MASK" Mnjikaning Arena Sports Key located at 6147 Rama Road in the upstairs Community Room. 

Hotel accommodations are at the Days Inn located on Rama Road (across from Casino Rama). Room and tax will be paid for directly by OFNTSC for confirmed participants. OFNTSC will be providing the hotel with a master list so you won't need to call to register.
 
Lunch and refreshments will be provided during the course. The First Nation/Tribal Council will be reimbursed for all other meals, incidentals per overnight stay, and travel using OFNTSC rates.
 
For those interested in the tour of the Sudbury MRF, this is still being planned for those First Nations participating in the Sudbury Area First Nations Recycling Evaluation Project.
 
Sorry for any inconvenience this change has caused.
 

The OFNTSC is pleased to announce we will be facilitating a two day course on First Nations Landfill Operations and Maintenance at Rama First Nation.
