Today’s date is August 24, 2026.
I want to welcome our members to another update. I have been flooded by inquiries from members regarding the signing of the second Canada Fiscal Amendment Agreement for Peguis Child and Family Services. At the July 30, 2026 council meeting, members came forward during question period and asked about the authority for that signing. I allowed the council to respond because I did not sign the extension, I stated at this meeting that based on the records available to me, I had not seen a band council resolution specifically authorizing amendment agreement number two.

Peguis flood protection, housing and recovery update
By Peguis First Nation Special Projects and Consultation Unit
Peguis First Nation continues to move forward with immediate and long-term plans to protect the community from flooding, restore damaged properties, improve roads and drainage, and construct new housing.
The work now underway has two main parts. The first is to provide immediate protection through individual property dikes, a central community dike, road improvements and better drainage. The second is to develop a permanent flood protection system based on off-stream water-storage reservoirs.
