Well, the day is finally upon us. I wish all candidates the best of luck and trust that those elected will serve the community in a diligent, honorable and vigilant way - remembering whom they serve and to what purpose.
Polls have been open since 8am and will stay open until 8pm. The ballot boxes at Quinsam Hall will be sealed at 8pm and transported to the Cape Mudge Band Office where all ballots will be counted. All ballots will be counted tonight and the results posted immediately.
I have been told that over 100 mail-in ballots have been received for this election - if accurate, this represents an almost 3-fold increase in off reserve voting over the last election 4 years ago. This is a dramatic increase and represents a new interest and resolve of our off reserve families to be heard and participate in the formation of our governance and leadership. Well done!
Thank you again for all the support - I trust that it will be more than adequate to usher in a new and much needed resolve for the governance of the We Wai Kai Nation.
Yours Truly,
Lawrence Lewis for Chief.
