Dear Members, I hope all our members are well as we head into spring. I look forward to visi;ng and upda;ng all of you at the upcoming March Quarterlies. At the Quarterlies I will be providing a presenta;on to our Members and the topics include: the McLeod Lake Indian Band’s 2014 Elec;on, Bill C-­‐27 Transparency Act, mee;ngs with Fort Nelson and Haisla First Na;on on proposed LNG development, a summary of Duz Cho Logging, Duz Cho Construc;on and Summit Pipeline’s previous year’s financial performance, the most recent values for the Treaty 8 Trust SeVlement Account, Economic Benefits Agreement with the BC, TransCanada Pipelines, and the opportuni;es we are looking at moving forward.

McLeod Lake Indian Band 2014 Elec;on In June 2014 McLeod Lake Indian Band will be holding Elec;ons for Chief and Council, Board of Trustee’s and Land Management CommiVee. McLeod Lake will follow the 2013 Custom Elec;on Code which was ra;fied by our Membership in December 2013.

Important dates moving forward are:  March 27th -­‐ Pos;ng of the Voters list and No;ce of Nomina;ons; and Mail out

Nomina;on Packages to all eligible McLeod Lake Members.  April 22nd -­‐ Nomina;on Mee;ng in McLeod Lake 7:00pm to 9pm.  April 26th Pos;ng of Elec;on No;ce and list of Candidates.  June 06th -­‐ Elec;on Day with polls in McLeod Lake and Prince George.  June 9th -­‐ Final Report to Chief and Council.  June 10th -­‐ Mail-­‐out of results to McLeod Lake Indian Band Members

Bill C-­‐27 Transparency Act In 2013 the Federal Government approved the Transparency Act for First Na;ons throughout Canada. This legisla;on may be very beneficial to First Na;ons that may have corrup;on and other financial challenges. However, for the more successful First Na;ons with growing businesses and opportuni;es this new legisla;on will disadvantage us and slow our growth. Bill C-­‐27 forces First Na;ons to post their Annual Consolidated Financial Statements on their websites, so that anyone in the world can see them. This widespread disclosure to the world could have significant nega;ve impacts for McLeod Lake Indian Band and our Companies.

McLeod Lake Indian Band has a very stringent procedure to ensure transparency and accountability to our members. First, MLIB has our Financial Controller go over the records to ensure they are accurate, in order, and ready to be presented to the Audi;ng firm DeloiVe and Touche’ LLP (A na;onally recognized Audi;ng Firm) for our Annual Audit. Once the Auditor has completed our Audit, the finalized Audit goes under a Quality Assurance Review by a separate DeloiVe Firm. When the Audit is approved by DeloiVe LLP, the Financial Statements are then given to INAC and they perform a detailed Review of the MLIB Audited Financial Statements. INAC then provides a General Assessment that outlines any concerns. This process happens every year and MLIB’s audited Financial Statements, to date, have been accepted. In fact, MLIB has been assessed as a low risk community. MLIB rated a 1.94 on a scale of (0-­‐18.5) For transparency and accountability purposes Auditor Jane Newman, from DelioVe & Touche LLP will be aVending the March quarterlies to answer any ques;ons that our Membership may have about MLIB’s financial posi;on.

Fort Nelson First Na;on On February 12-­‐14, 2014 Councillor Geraldine Solonas and I traveled to Fort Nelson to meet with the Chief and Council of the Fort Nelson First Na;on. Our main purpose for the visit was to discuss the impacts of LNG development within their Territory. Fort Nelson First Na;on has significant LNG ac;vity in the Horn River and Liard Basin which are located in their Territory. Chief Sharleen Gale took us on a helicopter tour of the developed areas. It was a beau;ful day to fly and got a great perspec;ve on impacts of LNG. On April 14-­‐16, 2014 Fort Nelson First Na;on will be the hos;ng the, Striking the Balance, conference in Fort Nelson to further discuss the impacts of LNG development. I have been asked to be a guest speaker at this conference in April.

Ki;mat On February 12-­‐14, 2014 Councillor Geraldine Solonas and I traveled with a delega;on from the District of Mackenzie to Ki;mat. The main purpose of our trip was to meet with Haislia First Na;on and learn about their proposed plans regarding LNG. Haisla have a number of opera;ons which include Transporta;on, Camp and Camp catering. We also met with the District of Ki;mat to discuss posi;ve and nega;ve impacts of increased popula;ons needed to develop major projects in the Region.

Fort St. John LNG Conference

On February 18-­‐19, 2014 Councillor Geraldine Solonas and I traveled to Fort St John to aVend the Fort St. John LNG Conference. The conference was hosted by the Treaty 8 Tribal Associa;on. Many First Na;ons, Government and Industry representa;ves par;cipated in the well aVended conference. The conference topics of discussion included, protec;on of water, cumula;ve impacts, Regulatory Processes and Industry Partnerships. I was a quest speaker on two panels at the conference. I spoke about MLIB’s success and posi;ve partnerships.

Duz Cho Logging, Duz Cho Construc;on and Summit Pipelines.

On February 22, 2014 I met with the Board of Directors for Duz Cho Logging, Construc;on and Summit Pipelines. The 2013 Financial Statements were presented to and approved by the Board. Once again our Companies’ prior year’s performance was excellent. At the upcoming quarterlies I will have a summary presenta;on outlining Logging, Construc;on and Summit’s prior year’s performance.

Treaty 8 Trust SeVlement Account On February 28, 2014 I met with the Board of Trustees in Prince George. I am happy to inform the Membership that the Treaty 8 Trust SeVlement Account has a surplus and will have detailed presenta;on for you at the upcoming quarterly mee;ngs. Gordon Larin, Regional Vice President -­‐ Aboriginal Services Group for the Royal Bank of Canada will also be aVending our quarterly mee;ngs to answer any ques;ons from our Membership.

Economic Benefits Agreement On January 09, 2014 Chief and Council met with the Province of BC to discuss the status of the nego;a;ons between the Province and MLIB. We are discussing several different types of agreement with the Province, including a Government to Government, which provides McLeod Lake Indian Band input on sensi;ve issues within MLIB’s Tradi;onal Territory; a Regional Coal Agreement that provides revenue sharing on coal Mines within our Territory; an Economic Benefits Agreement providing general revenue sharing in our territory and a Strategic Engagement Agreement providing an enhanced consulta;on process with respect to permijng. Many of the other Treaty 8 First Na;ons already have Economic Benefits Agreements with the Province. The Provincial Government has recently ini;ated talks on LNG development. The Province is offering land and revenue as compensa;on for the proposed projects.

TransCanada Pipelines On January 8, 2014 Chief and Council met with representa;ves from TransCanada to discuss the proposed Pipelines within McLeod Lake Indian Band’s Tradi;onal Territory.

TransCanada has four proposed projects, Coastal Gaslink (CGL), Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT), Meric and North Monteney. The first two CGL and PRGT lines will run from Northeastern BC to the Coast. Both pipelines will cross a significant area of our Territory.

Chief and Council are very concerned about the cumula;ve impacts of all the development going on within our Tradi;onal Territory and have clearly expressed to the Government that they must address our concerns regarding the environment before moving forward.

In conclusion, I look forward to mee;ng many of our Members at the upcoming Quarterlies. I will provide updates on these and many other topics. Thank you for your ;me and considera;on. If you have any ques;ons or concerns please feel free to contact me at dorr@mlib.ca or 250-­‐981-­‐1332 Respeclully,

Chief Derek Orr

Danache'a Community members There is a lot of Good news coming to our Band, we are a Band who has good rela;ons in BC, in the Business Community and with our other federal and provincial funders. Our accountability and transparency is working in our favor.

All of us are moving forward in our team approach that we have been building over these past few years!!

As I meet and chat with other Southern First Na;ons members from Cowichan, T'sarlip, T'souke to name a few, I find common struggles and issues like housing, communica;on and government rela;ons but I see some Ah Moments were we are doing well if compared. This is more informa;on sharing and realizing a bigger picture that MLIB is part of in the 500+ BC First Na;ons.

For the last 6 years I have been an off reserve council member, I have experienced with my team many different issues, successes and s;ll some challenges.

I want to share in this Quarterly report that everyone needs to hear our posi;ve news and a start to that is hearing that McLeod Lake Indian Band is a Successful and Thriving Band as one in 500+ First Na;ons Bands in BC. We con;nue to work as a team and as a community. As the current Elec;on in June approaches, please consider a team dynamic and the benefit that has been for us when elec;ng the next C&C. I will share that these past two terms on C&C has been the best for me, I experienced and learn more about our Band, our Businesses and their rela;ons to gejng McLeod Lake to be economically sustainable. I share this experience first because in 2008 when the C&C got the call that the World economy crashed, I was in a new territory of "Wow, what do we do?". Since then the Team of Staff, Board of Trustee, Members and C&C have been working together in understanding, pulling together our knowledge and resources to get ahead. Now MLIB is inves;ng in it's own companies and lending money to them so the Band gets the interest instead of a bank. AWESOME!!! That is one of my economic successes to share. The next experience I have learned is that we are family, community and we are in business and personal space daily. That is a hard place to be, live and manage together some;mes but again MLIB is working together and doing it well.

We are s;ll working together, talking, and planning for our bands beVer future, we can build on our recent experience to know what does and doesn't work.

We all talk about our children and their childrens children and to have something to share, give or leave for them, and that's just what is happening.

Mussi Cho for members ;me and interest and concern. It's easy to say that a small group SHOULD do something but I have seen that since 2000 is that each

band member is being more involved, interested, wan;ng more for our youths, environment and rela;ons. Mussi Cho Family and Community!! It's our turn now to provide beVer communica;ons and resources and capital to our members. The distribu;ons in the last year have been very welcomed and should be. Near future economic plans could help set more in place but I realize in a business sense you can't give everything away in a promise. We need to make our iden;ty sustainable, and ensure our Childrens Children know who there are and what it means to have beau;ful Land in their genera;on. Our Cultural and Language now have space and resources to take the stage and be used, shared and strengthened with the base and resources we have now.

Mussi Cho Everyone!!!

Council along with legal counsel con;nues to meet twice monthly with province in regards to Economic Benefits, Oil & Gas Consulta;on, Regional Coal, Government to Government, Strategic Consulta;on Framework, and, Nego;a;on Capacity For Natural Gas Pipeline Development Agreements.

Jan. 14th: Chiefs Gale & Orr, Councillor Dickie and I went on a helicopter tour for two hours in the morning where they showed us several areas which had gas rigs, including some with flaring gas, tents (quite large) where they kept the fracking chemicals; and, some camp sites sijng there wai;ng for the work to begin??

As I sat in the mee;ng and listened to a presenta;on and discussions I felt in awe and humbled that these people on the business Board of Directors worked so hard to get the mill started in Mackenzie for the benefit of our members (for employment) and felt the need to thank them. It would be so great if Band members would realize this as a blessing and be thankful to have these people working on our behalf.

Good day, In the past, I used to always be in a rush for the season of spring to arrive. However, that has changed. The last few years, I couldn’t help but no;ce the low water levels, so I’ve grown to appreciate snow and the importance of it. As you know, snow plays an important role to our eco system most importantly snow increases water levels for the lakes, rivers and streams. So snow is a good thing. Enjoy it while you can.

MLIB fiscal year is coming to an end by March 31, 2014. We con;nue to be on target with the service delivery of programs funded by Aboriginal Affairs, First Na;ons Health Authority (formerly Health Canada), PGNAETA, Oil and Gas Commission, etc. Chief and Council have approved the new fiscal year budget to begin on April 1st. Leading up to the new fiscal budget, back on October 2013 Chief and Council and the senior staff of MLIB and its en;;es gathered together to set strategic goals for the new fiscal year. We recognize the strategic plan and goals may change ater June 6, 2014 depending on the outcome of the Elec;on. However strategic planning and sejng community priori;es is essen;al to the fiscal budget. On another maVer, MLIB has undergone a General Assessment by Aboriginal Affairs. The General Assessment is a risk assessment that measures MLIB ability and capacity to meet the terms and condi;ons of the funding agreements. In the end, it was determined MLIB con;nues to maintain a status of ‘low risk’. That is a status we should all be proud of as it tells the world MLIB is a sound government with good management prac;ces in place. It takes a whole team to accomplish such a feat. Way to go MLIB TEAM. The Administra;on team is busy implemen;ng the newly amended MLIB Custom Elec;on Code 2013. The changes to the Elec;on Code are being implemented in the upcoming June Elec;on. For your informa;on June 6, 2014 is General Elec;on Day for MLIB. In keeping in line with the ;melines of the Code, C&C has appointed the Electoral Officer and the Appeal Board. As you know, General Elec;ons add pressure to MLIB Administra;on staff. As a result of the challenges, the Administra;on will be given direc;on to how we conduct and con;nue business during the pre-­‐elec;on period. The key is not to get involved in the elec;on process but con;nue our service and program delivery for MLIB. At this ;me, I want to wish you all smiles and joy as we quickly approach a new season.

Spring ;me is special because it is a ;me of ‘new beginnings’. All the best to you and your family.

Best regards,

Adele chingee

Two other posi;ons have also been filled recently. They are: Daris Piper has joined the Natural Resources team and is the new MLIB GIS Technologist. She will work from the McLeod Lake office but will also be working with the Land Referral staff in Chetwynd as required; and finally • Current Full-­‐;me Elder Coordinator, Kathy Parkinson, has been recruited as the new Part-­‐;me Staff Accountant in the Finance Department. As a result, her full-­‐;me status in the Elder Coordinator posi;on has been reduced to part-­‐;me.

•

I will be assis;ng the New Economic Development Manager (EDM), Lucy Mar;n, and the new tenta;ve TFF Manager, Anita Vallee, in preparing a job descrip;on and interview ques;ons for the TFF Cashier-­‐AVendant posi;ons. To-­‐date, five applica;ons have been

received from MLIB members for these posi;ons and all of them will be interviewed. I encouraged the MLIB First Na;on Employment & Training Liaison, Misty Williams, to assist the EDM in iden;fying posi;on-­‐specific training for the new TFF Gas Sta;on staff.

They in turn held a mee;ng with Northern Lights College representa;ves to iden;fy the various types of training that will be required to prepare the TFF staff for their new posi;ons at the gas sta;on. Some of the training that will be provided to them is First Aid, Cashier training, Fire Safety, etc. We hope to commence these training ac;vi;es on-­‐ site at MLIB as soon as the interviews for the Cashier-­‐AVendant posi;ons are complete.

We are quite excited about this ini;a;ve and are looking forward to working with Northern Lights College in this training endeavour. I encourage any interested MLIB Member to contact the EDM to have your name added to the poten;al list of trainees.

So far it has been a busy year and the MLIB administra;on, in terms of staff, has been going through a change. Ci;ng personal reasons, we have had a couple of departures recently, but are encouraged by the recent recruitment ac;vi;es and are very confident that we will be able to fill these vacancies very soon. We want to reassure the MLIB Membership that there will be no interrup;on to service delivery.

Finally, even though it may be a sore subject for some, I want to remind the MLIB membership that it is not only the responsibility of all MLIB employees and Chief & Council, to ensure a safe work environment for all MLIB employees, but it is also the responsibility of the MLIB membership to ensure this as well. We make every aVempt, at the MLIB Administra;on, to create a respeclul, welcoming and safe atmosphere for all MLIB members and staff, so that we can con;nue to provide quality service delivery to the MLIB membership that is effec;ve and efficient. We appreciate your con;nued coopera;on to this end. Mussi cho!

I am honoured to be working for the McLeod Lake Indian Band and want to wish the MLIB Chief & Council, MLIB membership, employees and their families a wonderful Spring and Summer 2014.

Sincerely, Human Resources/Office Manager

Kayleigh Calder

Youth Department Monthly Update: Since the beginning of 2014 the Youth Department has been involved in a Snowboarding program through Northern Edge Snowboard Team in Mackenzie & becoming enrolled members with the First Na;ons Snowboard Team out of Squamish BC. A “BIG” Thank you goes out to the Parents and youth for making this program such a huge success! The amount of interest in this sport has me in talks with the coach to plan to do this again next year. Also, Kayleigh Calder was scouted out during our program to par;cipate in the provincial try-­‐outs at Big White on March 2/14 compe;ng in snowboard cross. Kayleigh ended with 6th place in the Snowboard Cross Compe;on In February Aggie & Nicole put on a community Valen;nes Dinner that consisted of good food and big laughs. There night had games like; Worst or best date story... and prizes were handed out to winners.

Scrapbooking/Games Day on Sundays has been added to our calendar instead of Family Days as for that wasn’t working and we have had no involvement so we thought we’d try a community scrapbooking day instead were everyone is invited to work on a scrapbook or play cards or game of choice with others, but children need to be accompanied by an adult. The Scrapbooking days vary depending on events taking place that month and if there is holidays, Scrapbooking runs from 10am-­‐2pm on the Sundays posted, if you are wondering when scrapbooking takes place our calendar is posted across from our door and on our door if we are unavailable to answer your ques;on personally.

Coming up this month, we have a Green Themed St.Patrick’s Luncheon planned for Monday March 17/14 from 12pm-­‐1pm to kick off the beginning of the Youths Spring Break. There will be crats, games and prizes. On March 18/14 we have 5 youth, 1 youth Worker and 1 Chaperone going to Gathering Our Voices being held in Vancouver BC ;ll Mar 21/14. Everyone going is excited to aVend this conference. On the Second week of spring break on Mar 27/14 from 9am-­‐3pm, it will be the 1st Annual Tse’Khene Ke’hne’ta Dze’ne (Sekani Play Day) a.k.a Winter Games around the office. The day will consist of Relays, Snow Baseball, Road Hockey, Snow Sculptures, Bannock Contest, Tug of War and Daycare will have a children’s carnival taking place in the gym. On the Mar 28/14 from 9am-­‐12pm there will be a pancake breakfast to start the day and the handing out of awards followed by ice fishing and lunch on the lake. This is a 2 day community event. A signup sheet is being posted for volunteers so if you’re interested in helping out with cooking or events your help is greatly appreciated.

Last but not least a review of the youth program in general. Monday (ages 5-­‐9) and Friday (all Youth) youth programming takes place from 4pm-­‐7pm unless posted otherwise ex. Pro-­‐D Days run from 10am-­‐2pm. Regular programming on a Monday consists of a healthy ater school snack, home work, a crat, healthy dinner and a physical ac;vity. Fridays follows the same outline as the Monday we some;mes will do

a movie night which I try to do at least once a month and more of a cheat food like pizza or tacos, we call these types of days Fun Friday. We have high school youth being tutored Tues (in ML for ML youth) and Wed (in Mack. For youth that live in Mack) and Thursday ages 10-­‐13(in Mack for youth that live in Mack & ML youth that have homework) I advise all parents to contact Aggie or myself if you have any ques;ons or concerns about programming and we will do our best to help. Calendars do get sent home with youth, if they get misplaced please let us know and we can get you another one. As different events and programming has the tendency to change ;me to ;me and some;mes due to unforeseen circumstances, we will con;nue to try to keep you updated as much as possible.

Sincerely, MLIB Youth Department

MLIB Explora;on Corpora;on MLIB Explora;on Corpora;on is the McLeod Lake Indian Band company that owned shares in Summit Pipeline Services Ltd., and currently owns some 12 acres of industrial property within the boundaries of Dawson Creek, Bri;sh Columbia.

MLIB Explora;on Corpora;on sold the assets of Summit Pipeline Services Ltd in 2013. Approximately $9 million was provided in 2013 to eligible members in two payments of $15,000 each.

As there was an impending lawsuit regarding alleged improper pipeline inspec;on, the purchaser did not want to take on poten;al liability for the old work of Summit Pipeline Services Ltd. Accordingly, they did not purchase the shares of the incorporated company and all of its liabili;es. Fortunately, the lawsuit was spurious and has gone away.

Having sold the name of the company, Summit Pipeline Services Ltd., a new name was amended in March 2013 and is 3140296 Canada Limited. It is the inten;on that the numbered company will be closed. However, Canadian law requires that this company be kept alive for a period of ;me to allow former customers to sue should there be warranty issues regarding past work. While we know of no such concerns or ac;ons, it is prudent to leave funds in the numbered company should there be liability.

Currently, there are funds of approximately $6 million earning an interest rate of 1.25% at the Royal Bank of Canada. There is a proposal to provide a demand loan of $6,000,000 to establish a new sawmill in Mackenzie. The loan would be guaranteed by Duz Cho Logging Ltd. and Duz Cho Construc;on Ltd. and the rate of interest would be the Royal Bank of Canada equivalent loan rate of 3.85%.

The land in Dawson Creek is currently rented to the new Summit Pipeline Services Ltd. The land is for sale, but its loca;on has not aVracted much buyer interest. BC Assessment Authority places the value of the land at $603,000.

MLIB Explora;on Corpora;on is a legal en;ty fully owned by McLeod Lake Indian Band. Ater Summit, the Corpora;on remains and is available as a legal vehicle to pursue other interests.
