SRD & KCFN Community to Community Forum

The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) and the Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che: k'tles7et'h' First Nations (KCFN) are teaming up on a program which helps local governments and First Nations connect and build relationships.

“The Strathcona Regional District is committed to building on the momentum generated by this C2C forum with the Ka:’yu:’k’t’h’/Che: k’tles7et’h’ First Nations,” said SRD Chair, Mark Baker.

“We look forward to continuing our work together on initiatives that benefit both communities and contribute to the broader goals of reconciliation.”

The two organizations met last week to learn about collaboration opportunities, and worked towards resolving issues of joint responsibility, interest, or concern while ‘’advancing outcomes that promote reconciliation and mutual understanding.’’

In 2021, KCFN became the newest government member of the SRD.

Strathcona Regional District Elected Officials and members of the KCFN Legislative Assembly participated in the forum.

The event allowed both parties to highlight their different government structures, providing a better understanding of how their governance functions at each level.

The discussions revolved around priorities, significant projects, and initiatives undertaken by the SRD and the KCFN.
