 Feb  21,  2012  –  Community  Consultative  Group  Meeting  (Mackenzie  RCMP)  Met  with  Sergeant  Syd  Lecky  from  Mackenzie  RCMP  and  discussed  how  to  deal  with  the  current  drugs  and  

family  violence  on  the  reserve.    We  would  like  to  have  more  community  events  such  as  a  canoe  journey  from  McLeod  Lake  or  Crooked  River  to  Williston  Lake.    MLIB  meets  Mackenzie  RCMP  twice  per  year  as  part  of  the  signed  tripartite  agreement.      

 March  8,  2012  –  Housing  Meeting  Rent  issues  are  a  huge  problem.    We  will  be  revising  and  implementing  the  new  Housing  Policy  soon  and  this  

will  help  deal  with  some  of  the  issues.    Council  will  be  meeting  again  in  April  to  approve  the  Housing  Policy.    March  12,  2012  –  Community  to  Community  Forum  (Chetwynd)  

I  attended  on  behalf  of  McLeod  Lake  Indian  Band.    March  22,  23,  2012  –  Council  Governance  Training  (Prince  George)  

Will  be  attending  more  training  and  strategic  planning  with  Rona  Sterling.    March  23,  24,  25,  2012  –  March  Quarterly  Meetings  (Prince  George,  Vancouver,  McLeod  Lake)

Lomak  Had  a  couple  meetings  with  Lomak  and  discussed  the  possibilities  of  a  load  out  area  in  Mackenzie.    This  would  give  more  job  opportunities  for  our  members.  MLIB  would  get  a  royalty  from  each  tonne  shipped.    This  could  

also  build  upon  our  Gas  Bar  /  Store  if  it  were  built.    Lomak  and  Duz  Cho  Logging  would  also  buy  fuel  from  the  store  as  well.
