Indian Band to Convene August 6 on Possible Corporation
The Pas Indian Band calls a general meeting for August 6 to discuss forming a Corporation to enable a proposed 450 lot addition of Band land to the Town of The Pas. G C Crockett says the Band council is not a legal entity and a corporation is needed for binding decisions. Joe Ross notes the meeting aims to gauge member feelings and no firm decision may follow. Indian Band land cannot be sold but can be leased as The Pas seeks 500 residential lots for workers at a new saw pulp mill complex.
