Councillor & Portfolio Update – Tiffany Boyd

As newly elected Councillor, Tiffany Boyd, I have been assigned as lead on your Housing, Social, and Off-Reserve portfolios.

Here are a few topics that have already been making headway in our team discussions:

Housing
The Housing Department, alongside your Chief & Council, has already begun discussions on how to ensure the output of programs and services is efficient, fair, and accessible.
These discussion items range from what a Housing Committee could look like to how proper policy development and enforcement could enhance operations and community satisfaction.
We recognize there is much-needed support in the Housing Department, and these discussions could be just the ticket.

Social Assistance
The Social Assistance Department provides many short-term and long-term supports for our community members and will continue to do so.
Discussions are underway on how the department can evolve and provide enhanced supports for our members who access these services.

Off-Reserve Portfolio
This is a new initiative identified as a high priority by your Chief & Council.
We recognize that our community extends across Turtle Island, and we must reflect that.
While we are still discussing how to roll out this portfolio, please know there will be active planning and engagement on how to better serve our Off-Reserve membership.

Please continue to tune in to these newsletters for updates and opportunities for your input.
