Murphy Abraham named Nechako Lakes BC NDP candidate
PRINCE GEORGE— Murphy Abraham will carry the NDP banner in Nechako Lakes in this fall’s election.
A former Chief for Lake Babine Nation, Abraham helped secure a $50 million funding agreement from the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations. Abraham previously spoke on this funding agreement in February, stating that it will allow Lake Babine to move forward towards self governance through building a public sector. He added that it will also strengthen the remote communities of Wit’at and Tachet by building a community centre for cultural events.
“The Foundation Agreement is Lake Babine’s roadmap to independence from the devastating impacts of colonialism,” said Abraham. “For many years, Lake Babine has been building relationships with the provincial and federal governments to develop partnerships that will strengthen the future of our communities and the next generation,”
