Snuneymuxw Attends Gathering Wisdom VII Snuneymuxw members and staff attended the 7th Gathering Wisdom in Vancouver on May 6th & 7th which was hosted by the First Na-
tions Health Authority. The purpose of the gathering was to bring together people from the 203 First Nation communities in BC to learn
about the changes to policy that affect health programs and services provided by the First Nations Health Authority and also to make
attendees aware what other programs and services are available. There were over 800 people that attended the event. Everyone had
the opportunity to attend presentations from the First Nations Health Authority, Key Partners and Leadership.
National Native Alcohol & Drug Abuse Program
With the NNADAP program, the First Nations Health Authority has been working on a review of this. They are doing this in phases.
Phase 1 of the review was completed in November of 2014. There were 4 key themes that came from this phase. These are Administra-
tion, Governance, Data Management and Relationships & Partnerships.
Phase 2 will have Vancouver Island specific work. The First Nations Health Authority office plans to meet with their Vancouver Island
employees; Brennan MacDonald, Emmy Manson and Dr. Shannon Waters to plan out their process for Phase 2. The planning would
include defining groups for input, scheduling and reporting. The idea is to create a Vancouver Island specific action plan with our own
protocols for the NNADAP program.
Medical Health Officer
The First Nations Health Authority introduced a number of new positions within their offices which include the Chief Medical Health
Officer and Sr. Medical Officers. Dr. Evan Adams is the First Nations Health Authority’s first Chief Medical Health Officer who began his
work alongside the Provincial Medical Health Officer. Just recently, the First Nations Health Authority hired 2 Senior Medical Officers
who are Dr. Shannon Waters and Dr. Naomi Dove.
The purpose of these positions is to support the primary care of First Nations people within the overall BC Health Care system, support
the strength of cultural understanding among clinicians who provide care, provide clinical leadership that supports First Nations people,
provide medical oversight and quality assurance of medical practices and clinical services, handle complaints and so much more.
Goals that they are planning for the future are to support these medical officers by hiring a Medical Director, a Traditional Medicine
Specialist and a Manager of Quality, Care & Safety where each position will keep in mind the overall culture needs of our community’s
health. This is very exciting for First Nations people as it provides us a new approach to our health. It gives us comfort knowing we have
an office that will support us and understands our cultural needs.
Data Governance
This session was quite interesting. The presenters shared about how they are working at changing the way health information is gath-
ered and shared about us, as BC First Nation people. The information that is gathered is intended to provide a picture of our health
but it lacks certain elements that could provide a holistic view. It shares how sick we are, how many people we have in our communities
and so on. What the present data doesn’t share about us is our wellness, what we do traditionally and how we take care of ourselves.
Since health programming and services have been transferred to the First Nations Health Authority from Health Canada, we have the
opportunity to change how our data is handled. The First Nations Health Authority will be facilitating the redesigning of the data gov-
ernance system and they will do this by seeking input from our community representatives, political leads and health leads. From this
information that they gather, they will develop new information to gather, with new outcomes and new reporting systems that will
benefit our communities.
Overall, BC First Nation people are leading the way with health data governance with this new initiative. It will be exciting to see the
outcome the work ahead of us.

Building Suicide Safer Communities
Suicide affects everyone. In 2011 in Canada there were 3,728 reported suicides but over 1.7 mil-
lion people with thoughts of suicide. It is a problem that can be addressed.
Snuneymuxw is now one step closer to prevention and intervention of suicide with two newly
trained Asist (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills) Suicide trainers. Emmy Manson and Chris
Leischner attended a one week intensive Train the Trainer Asist program May 11-15. They are
now qualified to train community members in applying Asist Suicide First Aid for people at risk.
If you or a group you know is interested in being trained to ‘Asist’ please contact the Health Cen-
ter at 250-740-2337.

Housing and Infrastructure Department Mould and Condensation Report How can a homeowner help prevent mould growth on window frames / liners?
When you close your blinds, do not close them tightly and do not drop the blinds all the way to the bottom of the window liner; leave the blinds up slightly to allow for air-flow. For those of you that have curtains / drapes, leave the curtains / drapes up slightly to allow for air-flow. In the winter particularly, when it’s cold outside and warm inside, windows will naturally condensate – take the time to dry each and every window frame; and on a bi-weekly basis, clean the window frames and corners with white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Leave windows open slightly to allow for additional air-flow.
How can a homeowner help prevent mould growth in a bathroom?
Air-flow in a bathroom is especially important; each week, have a look at your bath fan for dust and if you notice that it looks clogged, vacuum the dust or wipe it off with a soft brush. After baths, showers, if you notice water lying around the bottom edge of the tub, wipe it down with a dry towel. Through time, if water is permitted to consistently go through the wet / dry processes without wiping down and / or disinfecting once a week, you might begin to notice black spots on your caulking – especially at the corners of your tub.
Pest control Please be aware of the following contributing factors for each different pest problem.
Rats and mice
Keep your yard and house clean of open food sources (dog or cat food, animal or fish parts) Keep your grass trimmed and any brush or bushes cut Pick up ripened fruit from the ground. Clear all possible pest nesting areas (junk and burn piles, old couches or beds, tires) in your yard and basement When discarding of fish, deer or elk parts, please take them well back into the forest and fish remains go back to the ocean.
Ants
Clean your house and yard of any sweet foods or drinks (pop or juice containers)
Bed bugs
Highly transferable and can move from home to another home very quickly. Many travel through USED furniture, luggage and clothing. Since this bug is by far the hardest to get rid of, full cooperation from the tenant or home owner with our professional service provider is the only way to get rid of bed bugs.
Contact SFN Housing if you suspect anyone in your household having bed bug bites or any other pests.

Housing: Disturbing the Peace Policy
SFN housing has been receiving calls of Loud Music and cases of disturbing the peace. Please note that SFN does have a nuisance by-law that applies to all on reservation here in Snuneymuxw.
The SFN housing department would like to remind SFN tenants and the SFN community of the Party and Noise clause in SFN ten-ancy agreements. According to section 9.6 and 11.6 of our tenan-cy agreements:
9.6 The Tenant shall not disturb the peace through acts either in or around the Premises, or within the community in general. Where Housing determines, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, that the Tenant has disturbed the peace, the Tenant shall be in material default under this agreement.
11.6 Proceedings – Disturbing the Peace Where Housing has a reasonable belief that the Tenant was disturbing the peace in and around the Premises; the Tenant shall be notified (Notice of Default) that they are in default.
1. If the Tenant receives three (3) Notices of Default for disturbing the peace within any 12 con-secutive month period this agreement shall be terminated and an Eviction Notice issued, requir-ing the Tenant to remove his or her belongings and vacate the Premises within five days of deliv-ery of the Eviction Notice or by the last day of the month in which the Eviction Notice is issued, whichever is later to occur (the “Eviction Date”).
2. On the Eviction Date, the locks on the Premises will be changed at 3:00 p.m. on the Eviction Date. Any personal effects will be put into storage. The Tenant is responsible for the payment of moving and storage charges. The Tenant will peacefully surrender the Premises.
If there are case(s) of disturbing the peace, please
1. Call the police to make a report. They will check on the incident. 250-754-2345 2. Call the housing department to also make a complaint. 250-740-2300
Disturbing the peace is a breach in our tenancy policy and could lead to default in tenancy if problems persist. SFN would like to keep our community safe for everyone.
Thank you, SFN Housing and Infrastructure Dept.

Septic Tank Maintenance What are the warning signs of a troubled septic system?
Grass over the system is unusually green & spongy to walk on. Drains in the house are slower to drain them normal. Odors may be no-ticeable Grey or black liquids surface in their yards or in the house. If any of these signs are happening, you need to:
1. Call our SFN maintenance Department ASAP
2. SFN maintenance will call in a contractor to fix the problem
3. expose the septic system lids (the contractor will be waiting for you to expose the lids to your septic system before he does the service call)
Reminder – if what you flush down the pot doesn’t rot – don’t do it!
Some items that will not rot & will eventually cause complete failure of your septic sys-tem such as:
Any kind of fats or grease down your kitchen sink or toilet
Cleaning paint brushes in your laundry tub sink, rinsing out paint related items or using solvents to clean brushes in your sink Reminder – septic systems are not garbage disposals:
Please do not place - disposable diapers, condoms, dental floss, tampons down your toilet And please try and use toilet tissue that is septic friendly – one of the worst toilet tissues for septic tanks is Charmin - because it breaks down at such a slow rate, your septic tank will fill much quicker
If in doubt – don’t pour it out!
Paints, solvents, thinners, nail polish remover Laundry bleaches, toilet bowl cleaners & caustic drain openers can slow the treatment process. Septic systems can not digest oils, grease & fat – oils or greases solidify in pipes & often plug them ( even if you use hot water)
Remember septic systems are not garbage disposals, including disposable diapers, tampons, their holders, condoms, wrappers and many other kinds of refuse plug & impair septic systems.
Solution: Often guests are not familiar with septic systems, post a sign in the bathroom, “if it doesn’t break down, don’t flush it down."
Water conservation- does it matter? You bet, it does! Based on the nature of the system, it takes time for the micro-organisms to work. Therefore, less water in the system allows more time for the system to work. Too much too quickly may cause untreated solid materials to flow into the drainage field, clogging it.
Don’t Wash too many loads of washing in a day. Having a large party? Flushing causes an overflow!
Do not drive cars, machinery or snowmobiles over the septic bed – this compresses & compacts the bed; subjecting it to damage.
Do not water the grass excessively or plant shrubs and trees (especially willow & poplars) This interferes with the soils ability to absorb liquids and break down waste.
Summer, and early fall are the best times to pump out your septic systems the ground will not be frozen and the spring water table has receded. The SFN maintenance department usually checks septic tanks during the summer months.
Remember a septic system pump-out is less than a hundredth the price of an overhaul. So remember, a well maintained septic sys-tem can run for decades. An abused or neglected one can fail tomorrow and cost valuable money.

Smoke Alarms Please ensure that all your smoke alarms are in working order.
Peridiocally test them to make sure they are working.
Please contact SFN Housing If you have any smoke alarms located in your house that are not in working order.
Windows It is the tenant’s responsibility to keep your windows clean.
Periodically clean the inside and outside of the glass and hose off the screens.
Please make sure to check both the inside weep-hole and outside weep-hole in your windows. They might be clogged with dust (inside) and leaves and spider-webs (outside) and might be preventing water from passing through.
How can a homeowner help prevent mould growth on window frames or liners?
When you close your blinds, do not close them tightly and do not drop the blinds all the way to the bottom of the window liner; leave the blinds up slightly to allow for air-flow.
For those of you that have curtains or drapes, leave the curtains or drapes up slightly to allow for air-flow.
In the winter particularly, when it’s cold outside and warm inside, windows will naturally condensate – take the time to dry each and every window frame; and on a bi-weekly basis, clean the window frames and corners with white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Leave windows open slightly to allow for additional air-flow.
Storm Drain Discharge If any Snuneymuxw member notices abnormal storm water discharges coming from the outlet pipes that drain into the estuary along Shoreline Drive – please contact Snuneymuxw First Nation office immediately.
Examples of abnormal storm water discharges:
Continuous bubbles – (soap suds) Thicker, muddy looking water; sludge or toiletries.
Any other discharge besides normal rain water.
Contact SFN Maintenance at 250-713-7402 if you have any of the above problems.
