Register for Indian Day School Lawsuit is a Class Action lawsuit against the Canadian government for the abuses suffered by students who were forced to attend ‘Indian Day Schools’ across Canada after 1920. This is a national Class Action seeking compensation for Indian Day School students and their families.

If you attended an Indian Day school and would like to be compensated as part of this class action, you must fill out a registration form. The final court (if no other court is needed) will be at the end of May 2019. There is no cut-off date for application but the Indian Residential School Survivor’s Society (IRSSS) encourages people to send their application in as soon as possible.

Haisla LNG conference a big success!

The 2019 Haisla LNG Conference & Tradeshow took place over three days from April 2 to 4.

The event was sold out far in advance, with approximately 500 people attending and almost 140 exhibitors at the Trade Show.

The event featured two days of speakers at the Riverlodge Centre and two days of a tradeshow at the Tamitik Arena. There were also three evening events including the opening reception, a Haisla business partners dinner at the Golf Club, and on the final evening, the closing banquet.

As leadership, it is our job to seek out solutions for our membership. We take comfort in knowing we are making decisions to improve the situation of our members. Some say LNG is selling out. We’ve sold up! Frankly, we don’t have enough members to fulfill every opportuity.”

- Haisla Chief Crystal Smith “Many companies don’t understand that business is different now. Procurement is part of it.

It’s not a nice to have anymore. It’s a requirement.”

- Haisla CEO Jason Majore

“Economic development for a Nation is more like a social enterprise. If we don’t have the money to improve our education, or improve the health of our members, they won’t be able “Industry has the potential to change lives and to take advantage of opportunities. I see ecochange communities. The change is today but nomic development as a catalyst to help support members in anything they want to do. ” the impacts are generational. That’s why we - Haisla Economic Development Manager, support the work of industry in our community Tony Brady and why continue to hold events like this.
