Tla'amin Nation to hold ground blessing for housing facility

Excited by this announcement, it couldn’t come soon enough to ensure shelter in our community, especially as winter will come faster than we imagine. Everyone in our community is safer when we all have our basic human needs met. A common thread of compassion in our community that I’ve witnessed…

Coming up August 13th!

I recently wrote a long post about my thinking so far on community forest dividend allocation in advance of the Council discussion Thurs. I also respond to some rumours/add clarity to a few items. trinaisakson.ca/seeing-the-f... In sum: This is not a simple decision that I take lightly.

Our local shelter is closing indefinitely next week. Not only will this result in more people having to sleep outside, it also means a loss of 2 meals per day which are provided at the shelter 7 days a week. #qathet #tlaamin #powellriver

This is a fantastic, free, opportunity to navigate rebates to save home energy costs.

Committee of the whole is light this week, but Council is packed! Budget will be the biggest item of discussion I’m guessing.

Voting on April 2, 9, 12.
