At Wednesday’s IAMC meeting, a Stó:lō ceremony was held to honour Chief Ernie Crey and to send him good medicine as recovers from a recent health setback. The Chief’s daughter Amber heard words of encouragement from the witnesses at today’s ceremony.

The Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee (IAMC) brings together 13 Indigenous and six senior federal representatives to provide advice to regulators, and to monitor the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMX) and existing pipeline. Members have a shared goal of safety and protection of environmental and Indigenous interests in the lands and waters.
Participation by an Indigenous community does not mean that it supports or opposes the project, nor does it change the government’s duty to consult.
Éy swáyel (good day) - Stó:lō Chiefs recently met with @NRCan Minister Sohi to discuss the potential #TMX project. The Chiefs presented him with a video of Stó:lō community members expressing their views on the project. There was also a question and answer period too. #IAMC_TMX
The IAMC supports Indigenous communities’ meaningful participation in monitoring environmental and safety aspects of the pipeline, including Emergency Management. Visit www.iamc-tmx.com to learn more. #iamc_tmx #EmergencyPrep
