NOTICE TO THE COMMUNITY COMMUN – CUSTOM ELECTION CODE Hello Community Members, In an effort to update and improve on the Custom Election Code, Chief and Council have approved and implemented a new Custom Election Code for the upcoming elections. The highlights of the code are:

I encourage everyone to review the document in preparation for the upcoming elections.
