Errnol Gray Sr. - E’Mino Bmaad-Zijig Gamig Health Centre

Errnol Gray Baa was an outstanding leader and long time Councillor for Aamjiwnaang First Nation. He served more than 42 years as a councillor, which was more than half his life. He also worked for DOW Chemical and retired after working 34 years as a pipefitter.
Errnol loved his community and was dedicated to his people. You could always count on him to take your issue forward to council, or whatever committee he was serving on, to have your matter addressed. He was one of the original members of the Ontario/Anishinaabe Resource Management Committee and served on The Environment Committee for over 4 years. He was a true advocate for environmental protection and clean air for the Aamjiwnaang community. The environment committee and community could always count on Errnol for his guidance, advice, knowledge and strong sense of ethics and justice. Throughout his life, Errnol worked tirelessly for his community, portrayed real leadership, and his commitment to the Aamjiwnaang community was genuine. It is an honour to dedicate the Aamjiwnaang Air Station in his name to pay tribute to his legacy and leadership.
