At TheCCSGroup, we’ve always believed in facing forward. Innovation, resilience, and strategic thinking have been our guiding stars as we work with communities and organizations to unlock their full potential.

But sometimes, it’s worth pausing—to look back, to reflect on the victories, and to let those wins remind us of the good we’ve achieved and the changes we’ve assisted in making. Because those stories don’t just celebrate the past; they fuel the future.

That’s why we’re proud to introduce our new video series: “Looking Back”

— where we highlight some of the meaningful successes we’ve shared with our clients over the years. Stories that deserve to be told. Stories that inspire what’s next.

Episode 1: A 20-Year Journey with Batchewana First Nation

Our first story is a testament to long-term partnership and visionary leadership. Since 2006, Batchewana First Nation has entrusted us to help bring transformative change to their community. What began as an idea for a new health centre projected for 2025 turned into something far greater — and much sooner than anyone expected.

Through strategic engagement with federal and provincial governments, alongside the leadership of Chief Dean Sayers, we helped accelerate approval timelines and reimagine what health delivery could look like in Northern Ontario.

By 2008, we weren’t just talking about possibilities — we were building them.

The result? One of the largest and most comprehensive health centres in Northern Ontario. Affectionately called the “Jewel of the North,” it showcased a new model for care:

• Funding from Indigenous Services Canada - Conservative Government at the Time

• Funding from Northern Ontario Heritage Fund

• Partnership with the Northern Ontario School of Medicine

  • A unique dry lab partnership with NOSM and Batchewana First Nation

• A range of innovative health services designed to meet the community’s evolving needs

This project not only galvanized support across levels of government but also became a blueprint for future-forward Indigenous health care infrastructure.

A Relationship That Endures

Today, nearly 20 years later, Batchewana First Nation remains a valued client — a reflection of mutual respect, trust, and shared vision. And we’re proud of every step we’ve taken together.
