Administration

Pikwàkanagàn manages their own Administration for the community. Six different departments are directed by separate managers. We have established ourselves as a working community with control of our own Administration. The Administration Office offers the following services:

The Administration building now brings together Finance, Social Services, Education, Economic Development, Public Works, Land/Estates and Membership as well as Chief and Council. For links to each department click on the graphics at the left. Health is located in a separate building next to the Administration building.

The present building was finished construction in July of 2003. Built under budget in record time by trained community members, the Adminstration building is a testament to the skill and talent of community members. The new building was created to ease crowding concerns and houses almost 70 members in 8,400 square feet.

The new building symbolizes both the growth of our community and the initiative we are undertaking in respect to self-government. Chief Kirby Whiteduck said, “I think we have come a long way in how we can take care ourselves, our elders and our children. It is symbolic of the great progress made to provide services for our members and ourselves. This is something we can all be proud of.”
