Congratulations to Rhonda, Rosa and Christina for securing a $3,000 Youth Grant to cover sporting equipment specifically and only for the youth center, from Indigenous Sports! Great job team!!!
Chief, Council and Administration Team have secured a $25,000 grant from The Ministry of Children and Family Developement for the purpose of doing a Youth Survey and Supporting any Youth Programing that come from the youths direction. This is amazing for our Gitwangak/Gitxsan Youth to be heard and to be the leaders that they are born to be. Congratulations Gitwangak
Gitwangak has won a $1.04 Million project that will be distributed in installments over the next 4 years. Chief, Council and our Administration Team have a lot of work to do! For them it means, way more advocacy for your rights at the Provincial and Federal levels. It also means Gitwangak gets a say in shaping healthcare, education, and Indigenous rights at these tables. The intent and purpose of the grant is to help establish a self-government, the title and rights of Indigenous people, end racism and discrimination, and promote social and cultural well-being! This will lead to a few employed roles for our community members as well. This is a great win for our Nation! Congrats, Gitwangak
