General Membership Information
Welcome to the Couchiching First Nation - Member's Only Section
We will be adding content that is specific information for our community. Please note that you will find no privileged or confidential information here. We will post links to live streamed events to the front page of our website when they are available. Because there has been threats made by members to post the livestream links so people can see it who have no access here, our livestream events will not be inclusive of all deliberations (privileged or confidential will be in camera).
More minutes will be added to this page including minutes from previous years.

2016 Meeting Minutes
If a meeting is held on the first Monday of March, for example, the draft minutes are reviewed at the next meeting (i.e. the third monday of March) and revisions are noted on the meeting minutes of the second meeting. Once revised, the meeting minutes are "signed off" as official minutes of Couchiching's Chief and Council (likely a month-long process). We apologize if it takes longer than a month to get minutes on the web site. It should not take longer than one month.
