Opaskwayak Cree Nation Chief Christian Sinclair spoke to Arctic Radio to give an update on the community.
One of the things Sinclair brought up was their recent strategic planning session and according to Sinclair the purpose of the session was to revamp the way OCN is governed.
They reduced the number of boards and committees within OCN and expanded the board participation for members both on and off reserve. OCN Chief and council will also be engaging their Junior Chief and Council on the boards along with community elders and they will also be selecting people that have experience to sit on various boards.
Sinclair also took time to talk about OCN’s financial situation and with the number of projects and the amount of money flowing through OCN’s economy this year the community is expected to make 135 to 155 million dollars which will be a major economic impact for everyone.
