OPP officers from across northwestern Ontario are taking part this week in an aboriginal awareness course at a Kenora area First Nation community.
Inspector Dave Lucas of the Kenora Detachment says its an effort to strengthen relations between police and First Nations people.
"It is a positive example of how we're working with the First Nations communities in the area," says Lucas. "It also maintains our commitment that we're maintaining the local needs as far as policing is concerned."
A total of twenty-four officers are taking part.
