On August 31st, the Investment Committee and Esk’etemc Council, along with BMO Trust Co. representatives, made significant progress on creating the $100 million Legacy Trust, emphasizing our shared commitment to future security.
Now that the wildfire risk we faced during the summer months has passed, the Esk’etemc departments have resumed the Strategic Planning process. Updates will be provided as they become available.
Esk’etemc continues to receive inquiries from Esk’etemc parents regarding the late enrollment of newly registered Minor members to the Minors’ Trust. Individual assessments regarding enrollment eligibility are ongoing. This is a reminder that we will provide responses or confirmations only to parents who are Esk’etemc members.
Additionally, once an Esk’etemc member turns 18 and applies for their Minors Trust payment, they become an adult and must contact the Esk’etemc office directly with inquiries. Esk’etemc will not respond to family members who inquire on their behalf.
Esk’etemc emphasizes that, per the Distribution Policy, all Tsqewt adult PCD payment applications from members registered after July 4, 2025, are not eligible for the $25,000 Tsqewt per capita distribution payment. Esk’etemc will not consider exceptions or appeal reviews.
Below is one Q&A shared in the latest update on the FAQ page:
