Chief of the Onion Lake Cree Nation Chief Wallace Fox says that he is very grateful to have a positive working relationship with the RCMP.
 “From a year ago till today, our membership is very grateful and feel safer than they did with all the work put in with our elders, council, and RCMP special task force, on gangs and drug activity that was taking place here. Without a collaborative approach, we wouldn’t be able to take our community back.  Safety is a priority amongst our leadership.”
