The Northern First Nations Alliance (NFNA) was formed back in 2020 and is made up of representatives of neighboring Nations that include the Haisla, Gitxaala, Gitanyow, Kitselas, Kitsumkalum and Nisga'a Nation. Health and wellness is one of four areas NFNA has focused on and last week positive news was received when Premier David Eby announced his support for one of the Alliance's proposals.

In September 2021 BDO was engaged by the Haisla Nation to review the Haisla’s People Trust Framework and to continue the work that Deloitte (2020) had begun in creating a trust governance framework for Haisla’s Own Source Revenue. In order to complete this scope of work, community consultation and professional resources, such as legal and financial expertise, were identified as pivotal to the projects’ success. A key deliverable of this project was ensuring that all Haisla Members understood the process involved in creating a trust agreement. As the Trust working group nears completion of the trust agreement, we will be engaging in another community information/consultation process. In advance of the schedule community consultation sessions, we wanted to share a membership information package (below) that highlights key topics that will be covered during these sessions.

With the Haisla Nation’s economic development interests growing tremendously in the past several years, the launch of a new Economic Development Corporation (EDC) has been approved by Council.
The new EDC will play a major role in the economic self-sufficiency of our Nation. Through its success, the Nation will be empowered with the monetary resources required to attain its cultural, social, spiritual and environmental goals.
HNC has learned a tremendous amount from the previous EDC’s and has drawn inspiration from successful Indigenous corporations, learnings which have been considered by independent experts who we’ve engaged to ensure the most effective model for the benefit of all Haisla members.
As we implement the new EDC as per Council’s approval, we are committed to ensuring members receive updates and have an opportunity to ask questions.
There will also be an opportunity for members to help name the EDC, and apply to be on the EDC’s Board of Directors.
