Klahoose CCP
Klahoose Council member, Jessie Louie has been designated to be the survey Coordinator.
Her role is to survey the Klahoose Community about the newly adopted Zero Tolerance of Violence Policy by Klahoose First Nation.
Jessie’s duties will be to complete interviews with interested members in person, over the phone or by email. She will be organizing events around community input based on requests from the community. If you would like to make an appointment or talk to Jessie about her new role in the Community contact her at 250.935.6536 ext. 229
Look for more community announcements in the near future. In the mean time Jessie may contact members to see if you want to participate.
Background on the new policy:
“In early November Chief and Council approved a zero-violence policy that has been months in the making.
A team of staff and community members has recommended a plan of action; the new policy is intended to make the community a safe place for all community members; support victims of violence, hold offenders responsible for their actions, and recommends the use of traditional approaches where possible to address incidents of violence.
Community members will be invited to reply to a survey that is designed to help the group find out how everyone feels about violence and what everyone thinks should be done to decrease violence in the community.
The bottom line: when no action is taken, the cycle of violence continues; when we neglect to address violence, we enable offenders who need help; the truth is that safety is a basic human right (November 2009).”
