Beardy’s and Okemasis Cree Nation issue warning letter to band members participating in illegal activity
Band leadership at the Beardy’s and Okemasis Cree Nation remain determined to stop illegal activity on the nation as they delivered a second notice to band members this week.
On July 14, the leadership delivered notice letters to homes where illegal activity was reported. The activities include drug sales and trafficking, gang-related activity, harbouring those using illegal substances and campers for illegal activity.
“These actions are a direct threat to the safety, health, and well-being of our nation. We are giving this second warning that if these activities continue, the names of the homes of interest will be made public, and law enforcement and housing authorities will take further action,” the letter said.
Heads of those households are being asked to meet with council, the circle of care and the housing department by Aug. 1 to make a care plan and have their homes inspected. The goal, the letter said, is to help those who are in need of addictions support.
