I've been on council since June 26, 2021. Quite busy with my pillar which is housing and infrastructure, also admin and finance. As you can see with all the houses being built on IR #4 And IR #6, we had to review our housing policy, and after editing our housing policy we have set up nameless, faceless process score are applicants for the housing available for membership. I'm happy to say our housing and public works are reviewing the applicants to later decide who will be moving into the new rentals and rent owns.

One of infrastructures capital plan is to finish our health centre before November 2022. We are also working on a new reservoir system for IR #4. As well as working on a safe walking path from our reservoir to the switchbacks which will double as a fire guard and planting some fruit trees and berries along the path with solar lighting.
I have been opening the gym every Wednesday 6:00 PM to 10 PM for all the surrounding communities, including Chase, to participate in the gym nights. We have a wide mixture of younger children to older youth and adults that participate on Wednesday nights. 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM we do a free play, which the younger children play basketball, ball hockey as well as some of the other equipment in the gym. With more and more involvement they're asking for a second night to have gym night.
I also assist Our justice Manager working with the fire department on developing safety operational guideline, and lobbying for new equipment as well as a fire hall, fire truck and future training and costs.
I sit on the financial audit committee to help assist budget breakdown. We make suggestions for chief and council to take into consideration on any upcoming financial issues.
I am sitting in some of the meetings for natural resource title and rights. Some of those meetings include QS table as well as MOTI, as well as the Jules litigation case and the Douglas Lake claim.
I have been assisting with the landmarks project and sight blessings.
I have also been assisting two band members to help start hunting trapping and gathering mentorship. In which we are excited for our community to embrace them along their journey, to create openings for our youth to explore this great opportunity.
