Public Assemblies

The elected officials of the Abenaki Council of Odanak wish to obtain your opinion on the possibility of adhering to the First Nations Elections Act rather than remaining under the election provisions of the Indian Act.

The major point of joining the First Nations Elections Act would be to increase the term of office of elected officials from 2 years to 4 years. We invite you to look at the comparative table to compare the different provisions between the two laws.

A discussion on this subject will take place at the next public assembly scheduled for April 5, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. at the Odanak community Hall. Members will be able to join in person or virtually at this meeting.
