Ktunaxa Nation Council extends closures through May 1
Ktunaxa Traditional Territory – The Ktunaxa Nation Council (KNC) administration has decided to extend the public closure of its main building through Friday, May 1, 2020.
The decision reflects the B.C. government’s formal extension of the provincial state of emergency through to April 28, 2020.
Shawna Janvier, Chief Administrative Officer of the KNC, said the decision is necessary to reduce the potential for COVID-19 virus transmission as much as possible.
“We’re following the provincial lead and are being extremely cautious,” Janvier said, “because we know how quickly the virus can spread.
“Our staff are doing a great job of working remotely; projects are still getting done and it’s very impressive to see how everyone is adapting.
“Our frontline staff are also still at work,” she said. “We’re immensely grateful to the health care and social sector support staff who are ensuring community members can access essential services.”
