Petition updateSupport Taykwa Tagamou Nation Members — Approve a 2025 Christmas Distribution for All Memb

UPDATE FROM CHIEF & COUNCIL

Greetings Cindy and fellow petitioners,

The Chief and Council acknowledge your passion and quick mobilization with respect to the member Christmas payment. As you know, this Council is very newly elected and just becoming familiar with TTN’s financial landscape. In our strategic planning session this week, we reviewed our financial budgets along with the comprehensive community plan. Given the needs of the community for water and wastewater management infrastructure as well as 3 phase power, we have determined that member Christmas payments are not feasible at this time.  This is not to say that this will never happen. We need to secure our long-term wealth to ensure that we can achieve economic sovereignty. We aspire to be able to provide community member payments, but only when it does not jeopardize our future financial security because that is our responsibility as Council.

Sincerely,

Chief and Council

Justine Morgan
