- June 2022: The council represents communities including Wahgoshig First Nation, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation, and Kebaowek First Nation. Acting Grand Chief Savanna McGregor stated that the name Algonquin was imposed upon the nation by Samuel de Champlain. The council opposed the Tewin development project and the recognition of the Algonquins of Ontario by other levels of government.[2]
- June 2023: The council joined other leaders in June 2023 to demand the abandonment of a massive radioactive waste dump plan. Grand Chief Savanna McGregor stated the project follows a history of excluding Algonquin people from decisions at the Chalk River Laboratories site.[1]
