CAFN DECLARES 2010 THE YEAR OF CITIZENS

The Champagne and Aishihik First Nations Chief and Council have declared 2010 the Year of Honoring Our Citizens Accomplishments. The new theme year was officially announced this month during a potlatch to celebrate the conclusion of the Year of Honouring and Celebrating Our Elders Knowledge.

“Our citizens are doing amazing things every day,” says Chief Diane Strand. “We want to use this 2010 theme as an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the many and varied accomplishments of Champagne and Aishihik people.”

Other potlatches, celebrations and special projects to recognize citizen accomplishments will be carried out throughout the year. Chief Strand is asking CAFN community members to submit ideas for activities or events to honour a citizen or group of citizens. To submit your idea, please fill out a “Year of Honouring Our Citizens’ Accomplishments” form (click here to download form). Year of Honouring Our Citizens’ Accomplishments forms will be accepted throughout the year.
