Acting on resolution CA-22-16, Establishment of Advisory Council for Cecilia Jeffrey
Property, Grand Council Treaty #3 has been setting up meetings with Chiefs from
each region within the Four Direction Governance Model to appoint elders and
survivors to the Advisory Council. Members from the Women’s, Youth, Men’s and
2SLGBTQ+ will also appoint a person to join the Advisory Council. The Advisory
Council will provide guidance with respect to burial sites on the property along with
ensuring Treaty #3 cultural protocols remain at the forefront of all activities. The
Advisory Council’s first task will be to go to ceremony to seek direction, then report
back to the Economic Chiefs Committee.
Secondly, Chiefs have been holding discussions to appoint one (1) Chief from each
region to sit on the Trust Committee. The Trust Committee will hold meetings with
Indigenous Services Canada negotiate the transfer of Cecilia Jeffrey Property to
Grand Council Treaty #3 over the next few months.
Finally, the Economic Chiefs Committee are working to complete a property
appraisal for C.J. Property and we continue to work with consultants to establish a
“Fair Market” value on the property. We hope to that have the work completed by
November 2022.
