Notice of Referendum
A referendum will be held on:
When: Wednesday October, 25 2023
Where: Training Centre Time: 9:00 am — 6:oo pm
The purpose of this referendum is to conduct a vote on the attached PLFN Annual Plan for the use of funds from the A’se’k Seven Generations Trust for the period of November 1 2021 – November 1, 2022. The annual plan includes funding for:
- The School Lunch Program
- The Church Committee
- The Annual Christmas Payments
The purpose of this referendum is to conduct a vote on the attached PLFN Annual Plan for the use of income/ interest from the A’se’k Seven Generations Trust for the period of November 1 2021 – November 1, 2022. This year the trust had a loss of interest and no income was made. Council knows the importance of the funds and how the school and church rely on these payments to be able to operate. For the first time since 1994, the funds for payments this year that are withdrawn will be from the principal trust and not the income/ interest. As a Council, we wanted to share this information with the community.
Globally, there were losses all over the world as the affects of COVID are still being felt. We are told that those losses will turn around over the next few years and we will be able to repay this money back to the trust. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any member of council.
Wela’lioq Chief & Council
