This work includes demolition and removal of six large above ground steel tanks, and underground cables, pipelines and utilities lines used by the methanol terminal.

Work will begin this month (earliest start date was July 17) and finish in [the fourth quarter] this year. At peak, approximately 45 local people will be working at the site in Kitimat. Servco has already hired 15 Haisla workers and that number could grow to 20 by completion. Work will occur during daytime hours, six days a week. In the coming weeks, people in the community can expect to see trucks bringing equipment such as excavators to the site, and once the work starts, trucks will be transporting the scrap steel to a recycling facility.

Each of the activities LNG Canada is currently undertaking has a single objective in mind - move the project one step closer to a final investment decision and be ready to move into construction.

A new structure for Council committees Haisla Nation Council has restructured their committees and created a more streamlined organizational structure.

HNC,

, has operated with five active committees, each chaired by a member of

Council.

Stakeholder Relations Committee |Executive Committee | Communications |Own Source Revenue |Capacity Since the June election, Council, with an eye to efficiency, has merged the work of those committees into just two:

Stakeholder Relations Committee Executive Committee Not only should the two committees in place of five improve the decision-making process of Haisla Nation Council, but it means a more cost-effective Haisla governance.

Meanwhile, we would also like to congratulate Brenda Duncan on her appointment as Haisla Nation Council's Deputy Chief Councillor. As per the HNC Custom Election Code, Brenda Duncan was appointed to the role of Deputy Chief by a unanimous vote of Councillors She is also now Chair of the Executive Committee.

Crystal Smith Chief Councillor, Haisla Nation Council Stakeholders Relation Committee’s role is to develop recommendations and action plans to put forward to Council for consideration. As the name suggests, they work with external groups and stakeholders with a mission to foster the creation of positive, sustainable economic opportunities to benefit Haisla members.

The Executive Committee acts as an intermediary body to ensure that the operational side of the organization is performing in a satisfactory way through monitoring. The role of the Executive Committee is to set the expectations and monitor the performance of the Administration. The Executive Committee is accountable to Chief and Council, and primary responsibilities includes developing and proposing recommendations to Council, and tracking the performance of the administration and ensure expectations are being met.

Understanding and dealing with grief Anticipatory grief often starts when the person you are caring for gets a significant diagnosis and their health begins to deteriorate. Feelings are related to the loss of what was or what you thought life was going to be like. It can be difficult to speak with others about anticipatory grief because the person you care for is still alive and you may have feelings of guilt or confusion as to why you are feeling this kind of grief.

Anticipatory mourning can be harder than the grief we experience after the death, because when we are waiting for the death to happen, we are on constant alert, living in a state of emergency over an extended period of time.

Despite what the name might suggest, there really are no set rules to define normal grief in terms of timelines or severity of grief. Instead, normal grief as any response that resembles what you might predict grief to look like. Many people define normal grief as the ability to move towards acceptance of the loss. With this comes a gradual decrease in the intensity of emotions.

Those who experience normal grief are able to continue to function in their basic daily activities.

Complicated grief refers to normal grief that becomes severe in longevity and significantly impairs the ability to function from daily activities. Contributing factors include the nature of the loss or death (sudden, violent, multiple, etc.), the relationship between the bereaved and the deceased, the personality and life experiences of the bereaved, and other social issues. Danger signals include suicidal thoughts and / or plans to act upon such thoughts; self-destructive behaviors; severe mental disorganization; deep feelings of guilt, regrets and low self-esteem; continued 18

irritability or violent outbursts of rage; radical, sudden, shocking changes in lifestyle; and physical symptoms that imitate those of the deceased. Complicated grief is an ongoing, heightened state of mourning that keeps you from healing.

Prolonged grief can be experienced in many ways: through feelings of hopelessness, a sense of disbelief that the loss is real, avoidance of any situation that may remind someone of the loss, or loss of meaning and value in a belief system. At times, people with prolonged grief can experience intrusive thoughts. If left untreated, prolonged grief can develop into severe clinical depression, suicidal or selfharming thoughts, and even substance abuse.

Cumulative grief can happen when compound losses are experienced, often within a short period of time, which can a state of "grief overload." Cumulative grief can be traumatic because you don't have time to properly grieve one loss before experiencing the next. You may feel that you are "going out of your mind" or "having a nervous breakdown" these are normal reaction to a very abnormal situation when losses have come so close together.

Distorted grief is uncommon than the other forms of complicated grief. Often associated with great anger or guilt, this grief takes unexpected forms, such as the development of a symptom that the deceased had prior to death. Other signs of distorted grief are overactivity without a sense of loss, a conspicuous change in behavior, hostility towards a specific person, and the taking of actions that are selfdestructive. Unfortunately, distorted grief can present with extreme feelings of guilt or anger.

How to ease grief - Allow yourself to mourn - Realize your grief is unique - Talk about your grief - Expect to feel a multitude of emotions - Allow for numbness - Be tolerant of your physical and emotional limits - Develop a support system - Lead on cultural wisdom - Embrace your spirituality Journal - Treasure your memories

Seek support if you need help coping with a loss.

Getting to know the

LAND CODE

Why do we need, or want, our own Land Code?

puts the Haisla in a stronger position for future prosperity.

The ‘why’ of the Haisla Land Code goes back to the Indian Act itself.

It is important to note, that oil and gas, fisheries and migratory birds are not included in the resources to be managed under the land code framework agreement.

Land management itself is the day-to-day administration of reserve lands and resources, including zoning, developing, and leasing.

(The Land Code Committee will be coming to the community soon to discuss the plan.)

The Indian Act includes the particulars of what a First Nations can, and cannot, do to land. That means the Haisla, as do many First Nations, must go to the Government of Canada, in particular the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, in order to conduct the business relating to managing the land locally.

All significant decisions affecting our lands will be brought to the membership.

The LAC is committed to involve our membership every step of the way. Several First Nations in Canada have blazed the trail already.

Haisla Nation Council and the Land Code Committee is working on the Haisla Land Code, which was ratified in 2014.

Elizabeth Robinson Fred Ringham Sherry Smith Cyril Grant, Jr. Marilyn Furlan Brent Robinson

As the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada’s website itself states, “First Nations with the capacity and responsibility to manage their land are better positioned to attract economic opportunities onto reserves and to support sustainable development for members.”

A message from INAC about B.C. wildfires Council issues a Band Council Resolution (BCR) declaring a state of local emergency, and/or advises Band members of an evacuation alert or order, they, in consultation with EMBC, should also ensure community members are preparing to evacuate and that everyone is aware of how to register with local Reception Centres, if evacuated.

As you know, the Province has declared a state of emergency due to the wildfires that have impacted many First Nations and communities.

We know that everyone is concerned with the safety of those affected, and we want to share information that will support those communities and individuals.

The cost of evacuating is often a concern to First Nations governments. EMBC will support First Nations governments to ensure that they know where Reception Centres are set up to receive evacuees and centre volunteers can register them for Emergency Social Services (ESS). In addition, the Canadian Red Cross is currently providing remote support for evacuated individuals and families. If you have been evacuated and do not need ESS support, please call 1-800-863-6582 to register with the Red Cross. Additionally, all impacted or evacuated individuals are eligible for Emergency Social Services support through the Province’s ESS program at EMBC to cover costs of personal items such as food and clothing, lodging, etc.

It is great to see that many communities are supporting their family, friends and other communities in their time of crisis. If your community is directly or indirectly impacted by an emergency event, your first point of contact is Emergency Management BC’s (EMBC) 24 hour emergency line at 1-800-663-3456. This will allow you to report the incident and request a Task Number, which is used to track emergency incidents and costs associated with activities, including evacuations and emergency social services for your community or evacuees your community is hosting. Eligible costs will be reimbursed post-event through EMBC, and Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) will reimburse EMBC. The attached information describes what is eligible for reimbursement.

INAC is committed to supporting First Nations during the recovery phase that will follow. After the immediate danger and response is over, INAC will work with on-reserve communities to put together recovery plans. All the impacts to the community should be detailed in the recovery plan; including everything that needs rebuilding or remediation. Recovery plans are provided to EMBC to ensure consistent treatment of claims.

Claims will be paid by EMBC and INAC will reimburse EMBC for the eligible costs on reserve.

For items claimed that are not deemed eligible by EMBC, INAC will work with the First Nation to determine the level of additional support required.

While EMBC is the lead for coordinating response and recovery activities, the BC Wildfire Service is leading fire suppression efforts. If your community requires information regarding suppression activities, you may contact the BC Wildfire Service Information line at 1-888-3367378.

INAC also funds the First Nations Emergency Services Society annually for wildfire prevention activities to reduce the risk of wildfire to your communities. For more information, contact FNESS at 1-888-822-3388.

Lastly, I want to convey my heartfelt gratitude to all the firefighters, volunteers, and front-line personnel who are helping to keep the communities safe.

First Nations have expressed concerns regarding authority over their communities during a state of emergency. When the Province issues a provincial state of emergency, regional districts may follow suit and/or issue an evacuation alert or evacuation order after consultation with EMBC. Chief and Council are responsible for the actions to be taken on reserve and are encouraged to consult and coordinate with EMBC. If a Chief and 23

NIFCS officially moves in to Kitamaat home Introducing the NIFCS Haisla Family Support Worker Program!

Northwest Family and Community Services "NIFCS" is excited to introduce your Haisla Family Support Workers Joe Grant and Jenna Pollard, supported by our new Terrace Team Leader, Tricia Thorne!

My name is Joe Grant, I am from Kitamaat Village I am 43 years of age. I belong to the eagle clan. I have 3 boys ages 17, 11 and 5. I have always had a great desire to work with youth, they see the world so different from adults. I have worked with kids ages 3 to 18 in sports mainly basketball and loved every minute of it.

Working with kids is very rewarding we need to take care of our future doctors, lawyers, dentists and teachers.

Guide them on the right path and keep them there, healthy kids equal a healthy community. I will always believe in our youth that's why I love to work with them.

My name is Jenna Pollard I am Haisla and Tsmshian first nations from the community of Kitamaat Village (Haisla). I currently reside and work in the community of Haisla Nation as a family support

worker for Northwest Internation Family & Community Services (NIFCS). It brings me great joy being able to work in my own community supporting children, youth and families. It is very rewarding work to know that you were able to be a helping hand for someone on their journey through life.

My name is Tricia Thorne. I am a proud Haida woman from Old Massett on Haida Gwaii and I belong to Kyaanuuslii Ravens clan. My traditional name is Kulawt, and I was given this name when I was initiated in the long house in 1999 by expartner's family. This name comes from the West Coast Side of his family.

I have worked with Aboriginal Delegated Agencies for 9 years and have 24

a passion for this field and working with our people no matter what band they are from. I cannot state enough how important it is for our families to be able to raise their own. Family is how they stay connected to their roots and know who they are and where they are from. I believe if we work together that we can start to support our most vulnerable people in our communities and start having better outcomes for our children and their families.

I thank you for this opportunity to be able to work with the people in this territory and to be able to do it in a good way from the start.
