Important Dates & Community Engagement Sessions

Tsawout First Nation is committed to keeping its members well-informed of the Custom Election Code process. In keeping with this goal, we have scheduled several community engagement sessions where membership can learn more about this proposal, and provide feedback in order to help guide the process.

The list below shows a number of community information sessions. There will be a total of 4 sessions, which will offered at different times so that members can find a time that works best for them. In addition to these community sessions, all materials will be made available online here, so that community can view materials and feedback if they are unable to attend the community meetings.

We want to hear your voice. We are excited about learning more about this opportunity to develop our own process when it comes to the future of leadership at Tsawout.
