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.
