Lexéy’em: Welcoming New Gold Board of Directors to Tk̓emlúps te Secwepemc
August 8, 2024
Myself and TteS Council members welcomed the New Gold Board of Directors (BOD) to the TteS Council Chambers. We were thrilled to learn that this was their first visit to the Kamloops area and to have the opportunity for them to meet with leadership from Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc. The Board’s fundamental objectives are to enhance and preserve long-term shareholder value, ensure reliable operations, and uphold safety. Together with SSN, we are engaged with New Gold and have established a long-term relationship.
Our discussions with the Board of Directors included topics such as the relationship, good governance, and decision-making regarding our lands and resource management. We also addressed our role as yecwmín̓men (stewards), focusing on economic development, health and safety, cultural heritage, intellectual property, and the British Columbia Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (the Declaration Act), which requires fulfillment to achieve free, prior, and informed consent.
