CCP Planning Questionnaire One

We Wai Kai and the Laich-Kwil-Tach Treaty Society are working together to develop a Comprehensive Community Plan (CCP). A CCP is a plan that considers everything from the lands to social wellbeing and is meant to help leadership make decisions that represent the community’s goals and vision. In this way it’s different than the land code. The land code is a plan for reserve lands while the CCP will include visions and goals for our governance, health, Elders, Youth, and other lands, like We Wai Kai privately owned lands and treaty settlement lands.

Question Title

* 1. CCP Vision Statement: "We, the We Wai Kai embrace our language and culture to build a proud, healthy, safe and self-sufficient community.  We support and encourage each other to thrive through following the footsteps of our ancestral history, as stewards of our lands and waters, while balancing our role in modern day society."

Do you agree that the above vision statement captures the goals for our future We Wai Kai community
