CALL FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
MISHKEEGOGAMANG TRUST FUND

 

 

The Chief and Council of Mishkeegogamang are actively working to finalize the terms of the First Nation's settlement trust fund.  Once established this trust will serve as a long term investment vehicle which will benefit our community into the future.

 

The Trust will be administered by a group of six (6) community trustees and one (1) corporate trustee.  Initially, the first group of community trustees will be appointed by Chief and Council and therafter these trustees will be elected from time to time.  As such we are seeking expressions of interest from our community members for the role of initial trustees.

 

In order to be qualified to preside on the trust you:

1. Must be a Member of the Band at the time of their appointment;

Must not have been previously convicted of an offense pursuant to the Criminal Code of Canada or the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act or any comparable legislation which comes into force after the trust is created unless the offence(s) occurred 10 years prior to being elected to the trust and the individual had obtained a pardon no later than by the date they are elected to the position of trustee.

Please note that Member of the Council are not eligible to serve as Trustees.

 

In addition to the six (6) community trustees the Chief and Council will also appoint a youth representative and an elder representative to preside on the Board of Trustees as ex-officio members.  These representatives will not be trustees but will participate on the trust to provide community feedback to the trustees.
