The NHCN Chief and Council want to inform our members of an important decision made by the Honourable Justice Toews regarding the amendments for the Keenanow Trust. The Amendments have been sitting dormant and were preventing the Trust from earning enough funds for our People, Fishers, and Trappers as the Trust was expected to do.
After listening to concerns raised at the recent General Band Meeting of Members, the Norway House Fishermen’s Co-op Members, and Trapper’s Association Members, the Chief and Council presented the proposed Amendments to the KEENANOW TRUST and received full support to proceed on implementing the Amendments.
The Chief and Council are working to preserve the traditional practices that are integral to our cultural heritage, while simultaneously ensuring economic opportunities for Norway House Cree Nation.
Honourable Justice Toews Decision, dated February 7th, 2025, is attached.
We appreciate your understanding and participation in this process.
Chief and Council
Norway House Cree Nation
