First Nations file financial reports – Alaska Highway News

Four out of seven First Nations in northeastern B.C. have filed their First Nations Financial Transparency Act documents by the July 29 deadline.

These documents show how much money each First Nation earned and spent, including how much chiefs and councillors were paid in 2014-15.

The four bands that filed their documents on time were the Fort Nelson, Blueberry River, Prophet River, and West Moberly First Nations. Filings for the Saulteau, Halfway River, and Doig River First Nations do not appear on the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) website.

Messages directed to the band offices of Blueberry River, Fort Nelson, and Doig River First Nations, along with West Moberly Chief Roland Willson, seeking comment have not been returned.
