On May 11, 2026, the Esk’etemc Council adopted a motion to approve the continuation of the Strategic Planning process facilitated by Anthony Taylor. It is important that this planning continues to establish clear parameters for the Legacy Trust income revenue allocations.
The Esk’etemc Council, CAO Stacey Johnson, Stan Ashcroft, Joy William and two Investment Committee members will meet again in Esk’et on May 25, 2026, to continue working on drafting the Legacy Trust. Our Esk’etemc leadership is committed to establishing this Legacy Trust to safeguard our funds for the next seven generations.
The Esk’etemc Council has accepted the $2,000 payment from the plaintiffs to cover the legal costs incurred from their lawsuit. The group has not yet filed a Notice of Discontinuance.
Discussions are ongoing to recover the duplicate Tsqewt PCD payments made in error to four Esk’etemc members. The Esk’etemc management and leadership continue to explore alternative avenues to collect payment. These cases will continue to be assessed individually, depending on the member’s response, willingness to communicate, and agreement to a repayment plan. Esk’etemc is not averse to taking legal action against members who refuse to pay to recover the overpayments. Failure to repay will also affect any future payments or funding that these members could be eligible for.
The team continues to receive inquiries about receipts and statements for those Tsqewt PCD payments that were deducted. The finance department states that receipts and statements were distributed in August 2025. If you did not receive your receipt and statement, please get in touch with the Esk’etemc finance department.
