Update Regarding Drug Issues

Hello to all Members of Ugpi’ganjig First Nation

Your Chief & Council would like to provide a quick follow-up from last weeks emergency meeting on the drug related issues, in our community.

Your Chief & Council have proceeded with the direction to disconnect utilities for all future homes who have occupants who are deemed to have excessive drug and/or alcohol related activities, occurring in or around their homes, that may cause direct harm to surrounding Community and Members.

Challenges have arisen with proceeding with one of the homes. We are taking the appropriate measures to address this delay, and want to reassure that we are working with law enforcement, crown corporations, and internal team members, to follow through with these pressing issues.

Chief & Council will call for a public community meeting, next week, with a full update. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
