Good Day Snuneymuxw Mustimuxw;

Working in my own community has taught me to be respectful, kind, honest and passionate person not only to myself but to others. And I would like to thank the parents of the students who attend Qwam Qwum Stuwixwulh School for the privilege of working with their children.

Snuneymuxw Law & Justice Project Celebration Feast

The University of Victoria Faculty of Law has embarked on a research project with 5 First Nation com-munities across the country to glean traditional law and traditional legal processes which will inform a UVic law degree in Indigenous law. Snuneymuxw was one of the communities selected to partici-pate. The research project was focused on identifying our traditional form of governance when con-flict and harm arises, how we address it and our forms of peace-making.

Snuneymuxw First Nation hired Erralyn Thomas as the “community coordinator” for the project and she worked alongside Geraldine Manson who identified Elders to interview and guided the process.

We would like to raise our hands to the Elders and support staff who took the time out of their day to participate in this traditional research project, to provide their energy, teachings and oral traditions for the benefit of Snuneymuxw Mustimuxw.

To celebrate Snuneymuxw participation in the project a feast was held on Monday, August 20 at the Community Kitchen. The feast including fresh crab donated by Noel Brown.

Korean Central Presbyterian Church Summer Camp

Snuneymuxw youth have enjoyed the 2nd annual Korean Central Presbyterian Church (KCPC)

summer camp at the Nanaimo Native Victory Church. The youth bible camp was held from August 20

to the 24. Over 50 youth participated in the camp which included singing, crafts and games.

The KCPC has teamed up with the Nanaimo Native Victory Church to offer support, assist in repairs

and to build a foundation for friendship. KCPC and leaders spend two months preparing and training

for the bible camp. The youngest youth leader volunteer was 12 years old. There were 42 volunteers in

total who worked to offer the camp.

At the beginning of summer KCPC went house to house and gave out gifts to all on-reserve

Snuneymuxw. They concluded their two week-long visit with a community dinner and service that

offered traditional Korean foods.

The KCPC would like to thank Snuneymuxw for its support and say how friendly and exciting the

Snuneymuxw community is.

Attention to all tenants and members of SFN

The SFN housing department would like to remind SFN tenants and the SFN community of the

Party and Noise clause in SFN tenancy agreements. According to section 9.6 and 11.6 of our

tenancy agreements:

9.6 The Tenant shall not disturb the peace through acts either in or around the Premis-es, or within the community in general. Where Housing determines, in its sole discre-tion, 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 de-fault.

If the Tenant receives three (3) Notices of Default for disturbing the peace within any 12 consecutive month period this agreement shall be terminated and an Eviction Notice is-sued, requiring the Tenant to remove his or her belongings and vacate the Premises within five days of delivery 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”).

On the Eviction Date, the locks on the Premises will be changed at 3:00 p.m. 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

Call the police to make a report. They will check on the incident. 250-754-2345

Call the housing department to also make a complaint. 250-740-2300

SFN would like to keep our community safe for everyone.

Attention all SFN Members Fire Safety Issue

It has been noted by fire safety personnel that there are several shared driveways be-ing blocked by either vehicles and / or other items whereby emergency response crews

do not have direct access to homes in behind other homes.

This would significantly increase the emergency response time of fire safety personnel

Please keep driveways clear for emergency response vehicles at all times!

Warning Extreme Fire Hazard

The forest fire rating is at extreme, and caution is advised for all Snuneymuxw who

spends time outdoors.

Chances of a forest fire are as high they can be right now, with the forest fire risk in the

extreme range in the woods around our territory.

A lack of rain, combined with warm temperatures have created tinder-dry conditions

that can allow a fire to start and spread quickly.

That is only expected to get worse through the weekend, with Environment Canada

calling for hot temperatures through Saturday.

Please speak with your family specifically the children to warn them of the dangers!

SFN Pest Control

It is that time of year when various types of pests become more active. Please help SFN administra-

tion in combatting the problem!

Mice/rats –Cleaning the yard and house of open food sources (Dog/cat food, left over foods, deer

carcasses and skins) and also cutting grass and clearing all possible nesting areas (junk piles, burn

piles, old couches or beds, tires) in the yard will help control mice and rats.

Ants- pop/juice containers attract ants (any sweet foods or drinks). If these are left in the house or out-

side the house. Ants will be attracted to your home.

Bed bugs – are highly transferable and can move from home to home very quickly. Unfortunately

many travel through USED furniture. They can also travel through luggage and clothing. This bug is by

far the hardest to get rid of. Full cooperation from the tenant/home owner with our professional ser-

vice provider will be the only way to get rid of this bug.

If you have a problem with pests please give our maintenance department a call

(James Wesley) 250-713-7402

Food Fish Update

We regret to inform you that sockeye season has closed. There will be no more sockeye delivery. We were only able to deliver to ½ of our members: Elders and the disabled were served first. Some Nations didn’t receive any sockeye food fish and others only delivered to their elders. It was a poor year for sockeye fishing for all Nations not just ours.

However there will be more fishing in the near future for other salmon species. We will keep you posted.

When Food Fish is available we will post an update to the SFN Facebook Group and the website.

When Food Fish is available for off-reserve delivery, Administration staff will call all OFF-RESERVE MEMBERS to notify them of the dates and location of delivery.If you are calling or leaving a message about Food Fish please have the following information available:

We greet you all in Jesus mighty Name,

Read Psalm 20:9 where the Bible says:

"Give victory to the King, O Lord; answer us when we call".

God answers us when we call. Not only does He hear us, He answers us.

God doesn't ignore our plight. He is aware of everything that comes against us.

Often we compound our troubles by imagining that God doesn't care what we

are going through--we feel that God is unaware of our distress.

Jesus also assured us in Matthew 10:29-31,"Not one sparrow( What do they cost?

Two for a penny?) can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it, and the very hairs

of your head are all numbered, so don't worry! You are more valuable to God than many sparrows.

This is our confidence: not only does God hears you, But He answers you. He cares about your struggles.

As a saying goes "Troubles roar like thunder, but the believer's voice will be heard above the storm.

God will hear you no matter what the nature of distress is, He will always be there: in trouble, adversity, need, calamity, whenever we are in turmoil. What adversity are you facing? Is it conflict in the family, financial problems, stress at work, emotion-

al problems, spiritual battles ?

No matter what the distress, God is there to meet your needs.

This is the promise of this Psalm: God will answer you in the day of trouble.

Special Invitation to all Snuneymuxw Families...If you are in need of prayers, do come and join us every Sunday from 6pm at the Headliners Building at Terminal Avenue just

opposite the Nanaimo Post Office and next to Mrs. Riches Restaurant.

We are here for you and your Family

Blessings to all

Pastor Jone & Mere.
