Shackan Indian Band

Good evening Shackan

Another late update on the fire situation in the hooshum prospect area ( known as the Brunswick Ainsley creek fire complex. The fire has seen little growth over the past few days. Choppers and ground crews have been working on a direct attack on the hooshum side of the fire. We have heavy equipment build access and a guard on the prospect side.

Our leadership has a liaison office engaged directly with Bcwfs (vice chief Mike Smithers’s. Myself I have been onsite working crews and equipment creating access and a guard. I will continue to be onsite until the guard work is completed. This work is being conducted with a cultural monitor on site daily.

Stay tuned for more information. 

SIB C&C continue to monitor and have discussions as we learn new information.

Thanks

Chief Lindsay
On behalf of Chief and Council
