Abstract:
Haisla Nation Council and the District of Kitimat are proud to announce their participation in the Community Economic Development Initiative (CEDI), a national program delivered jointly by Cando (the Council for the Advancement of Native Development Officers) and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM).
Haisla Nation and District of Kitimat are one of eight partnerships in Canada to embark on this two-year First Nation-municipal collaboration program between 2022-2024. CEDI seeks to support First Nations and neighbouring municipalities to build respectful and equitable partnerships, and to develop capacity for long-term planning for joint community economic development and land use.
“I am pleased to participate in this important initiative with the District of Kitimat,” said Haisla Chief Councillor Crystal Smith. “We recognize that working together to address our economic challenges will strengthen our relationship and the regional economy and move our communities forward.”
Haisla Nation and the District of Kitimat recognize that long-term partnerships are anchored in a solid foundation, and the CEDI program opens the way for our communities to create economic and social advantages for all citizens.
”I am incredibly happy to see the start of this program to build and enhance the critical relationship between the District of Kitimat and Haisla Nation,” says District of Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth. “What we will accomplish over the next two years in this program will pave the way to a stronger community and economy.”
