Additionally, OFNTSC operates the following projects and initiatives: Circuit Rider Training Program, Asset Management, and Technical Career Youth Outreach to inform First Nations youth about the career opportunities available in the STEM fields.
The OFNTSC works closely and collaboratively with Indigenous Services Canada, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Health Canada, Environment Canada, Public Services and Procurement Services Canada, Employment and Social Development Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Ontario's Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, Ministry of Natural Resources and Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation. Furthermore, the OFNTSC pursues strategic alliances with other First Nations organizations, provincial and municipal governments, professional associations, and the private sector. With its head office in Hagersville, Ontario (Mississauga of the Credit First Nation), the organization has three additional offices in Brantford, Atikameksheng (Sudbury), and Thunder Bay, Ontario. To learn more about OFNTSC, please visit: www.ofntsc.org.
The Board is committed to ensuring its membership is representative of the First Nations that OFNTSC serves and diverse in skills and perspectives. The Board is encouraging applications from citizens of First Nations in both Northern Ontario (i.e. citizens of Treaty 3 nations, Nishnawbe Aski Nation, Robinson Superior Treaty Nations, other Treaty 9 Nations, etc.) and Southern Ontario (i.e. Anishinabek Nation, members of the Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians, Robinson Huron Treaty Nations, Algonquin's of Ontario, unaffiliated First Nations, and Large First Nations as defined by OFNTSC). First Nations women and men are encouraged to apply to offer a proper balance of genders on the Board. The OFNTSC Board meets at least four times yearly, and Members are expected to serve on at least one committee. Board Members receive an honorarium for meetings, and travel costs are reimbursed.
Governance Structure and Reform
In 2016, OFNTSC began the process of governance reforms to better position the corporation to serve the technical and engineering needs of their clients (First Nations and Tribal Councils in Ontario). Some of the governance reforms implemented include:
1. Transitioning from a representative to a competency-based Board and establishing a director nomination process based on competencies, skills, and various diversity criteria, including gender;
2. Ensuring governance incorporates First Nation values and knowledge systems;
3. Instituting Leadership and Technical Advisory Committees to strengthen connections with First Nations and improve organizational effectiveness;
4. Establishing Board Committees for Audit and Risk, Governance and Nominating, Human Resources, Compensation, and Technology matters to ensure that best governance and oversight practices are in place.
