Dease Lake Community

Director Report

Hello everyone and wishes for all the best in the New Year!

Christina Callbreath

Dease Lake Community Director Since starting work this fall, I have been busy learning what my job is and getting to reconnect with the community. I have had meetings with some community stakeholders, Elders, and Youth. This created opportunities to fill out community surveys and discuss our wishes and interests for the future. Some of the community interests include beading and sewing, Elder and youth gatherings, drum making, Tahltan dancing, classes on hunting and trapping, carpentry classes, and cultural exchanges. These are just a few interests that were expressed. We have a great many more ideas to work with in planning for the New Year.

Now that the New Year is upon us, I am planning regular get-togethers and meetings for the ladies, families, Youth, and Elders. I am also planning for some outside activities and classes. Please look out for posters and Facebook posts to inform you about what is happening in the community. If anyone has any questions or ideas for me, please feel free to call me at the Tahltan Central Government (TCG) office. I am always happy to chat. You can also email me at deaselakedirector@tahltan.org.

It is very unfortunate that COVID-19 has put a damper on our planned activities, but here’s hoping that we can be careful, safe and COVID-free in the future. Please continue to be strong and I look forward to seeing everyone soon!
