SERVICES AGREEMENT

The Nishnawbe Aski Police Services Agreement is an “agreement in principle” negotiated between the Government of Canada; the Government of Ontario and the Nishnawbe Aski Nation.

The Agreement was ratified by the Nishnawbe Aski Chiefs in December 1993 and signed by the negotiating parties on January 14, 1994. Further agreements and amendments have followed the original.
