Certified by First Nations Financial Management Board
By Fraser Rodgers, AM 1150 News Talk Sports
The Osoyoos Indian Band has been recognized for their financial management and fiscal performance. They’re one of three First Nations in Canada to be the first to receive certification from the First Nation Financial Management Board. The certification gives the Band a greater source of capital to build new infrastructure and attract more development on the reserve. Chief Clarence Louie says the certification will create more investment and employment in the short and medium-term future. He hopes the certification will help the Band be selected by the BC government as the location for a new correctional centre.
