Pwi-Di-Goo-Zing Ne-Yaa-Zhing Advisory Services’ mission is to provide advisory services and training to enhance the management skills and business opportunities.

The Executive Directors of the Fort Frances Chiefs Secretariat and Pwi-di-goo-zing Ne-yaa-zhing Advisory amalgamated their services due to financial cut backs by INAC.

Political function is currently being addressed by Pwi-di-goo-zing Ne-yaa-zhing Advisory Services.  Pwi-Di-Goo-Zing-Yaa-Zhing Advisory Services works with the First Nations to build capacity, provide training, and provide services that can’t  be access locally but are collectively used ie. Membership, housing inspection, IT, fire prevention, finance, water and wastewater, etc..

The political function attempts to influence policy affecting First Nations ie. Housing, Infrastructure, climate change, access to capital, education, health, child and family services, policing, cultural preservation, etc. that affect the life of our citizens.  They also advocate on behalf of economic interests and needs.

Pwi-di-goo-zing Ne-yaa-zhing Advisory currently participates in Treaty initiatives such as the Tri-Lateral Committee to end Long Term Boil Water Advisories in Ontario.  They also participate in the agencies’ Executive Director discussions regarding political function and programs affecting the people and the development of strategic plans.

Pwi-Di-Goo-Zing Ne-Yaa-Zhing Advisory Services strives to be a role model by:

• being accountable,
• striving for excellence, and
• showing leadership in all that they do.

Pwi-Di-Goo-Zing Ne-Yaa-Zhing Advisory Services provide professional, effective and responsive services that respect and reflect the Anishinabe cultural beliefs, traditions and practices.
