It will scare the government.” – Chief Dolleen Logan, Lheidli T’enneh First Nation

“Looking at the next two years, I want to see more community involvement and decision making. We came out of a time where we couldn’t have as many community members within our government system, and I think it’s time that we started including a lot of the community members to get where we want to be now. – Councillor Joshua Seymour, Lheidli T’enneh First Nation

Chief and council are elected to two year terms, and in this election there were 21 candidates for council and six for chief. Nearly 300 members came out to vote which represents over 55% of eligible voters.
