MOOSE HUNTING PERMITS

Letter Sept. 30, 2011

Kitsumkalum Band will be issuing Moose Hunting Permits for the 2011 – 2012 Hunting Season.

The purpose is for the band to gain knowledge of the number of moose harvested within the Kitsumkalum Traditional Territory and to stop the harvest of cow moose to avoid losing a valuable resource to the Kitsumkalum Band Members.

Permits can be obtained through the Kitsumkalum Fisheries Department at 14303 Highway 16 West (the old Skeena Native Development Office Building). The New Phone Number is 250-635-5000.

Permits will be issued to Kitsumkalum Band Members only and to Non – Kitsumkalum Members who are legally married to Kitsumkalum members and are living on reserve.

Kitsumkalum’s 2011 Moose Hunting Permits will be valid within Kitsumkalum’s Traditional Hunting Territory being: MU 6 – 10, MU 6 – 11, MU 6 – 14 & MU 6 – 15.

Permits will be issued for a 2 week permit with no exceptions. Upon the results of a kill, the kill is required to be reported to the Kitsumkalum Fisheries Department, identifying date and location of the kill.

The Moose Hunting Permits will be issued through to December 3, 2011.

The Moose Permit is in no way a replacement for necessary certification to possess or use a restricted or non – restricted firearm. Kitsumkalum Band reserves the right to make any changes to the Moose Hunting Permit and Regulations as well to cancel any issued permits as discretion requires.

Kitsumkalum Band would like to thank you for your participation and cooperation

Housing Application Selection Criteria

Letter Sept. 20, 2011

Dear Kitsumkalum Housing Applicants:
Please help The Kitsumkalum Band through the tenant selection process by providing current up-to-date information on your housing application.
A fair selection cannot be made if we do not know your true ability to make the monthly rental payments as set. We require current household financial information in order to determine affordability.
It does not expedite your selection if you go to Chief & Council and the Band Administrator with your requests for housing. Your applications are dealt with in the Housing Department. Please contact Christine Munroe to update your application.

Here is a list of the current selection criteria we are using for Social Housing Rent to Own projects:
1. Applicants must be a registered member of the Kitsumkalum Band and at least 18 years of age.
2. Applicants or spouse cannot already own a house (on or off reserve).
3. All applicants must have completed the Kitsumkalum Band Council Housing application and have submitted it to the Housing Department. List everyone who will be living in the home. This is important for unit sizing as determined in the National Occupancy Standard.
4. Applicants must disclose all sources of income to the Kitsumkalum Band Council (Boarders, Social Assistance, Employment Insurance, Pensions or wages; back up financial information with T4s, or most recent Tax Return).
5. Applicants must provide references, including addresses and phone numbers, of current and previous landlord(s), no relations, so that the Housing Department can complete a reference check.
6. Applicants must have a good credit rating with the Band.
7. Applicants must undergo a credit rating check.
8. Applications must be updated at least every 12 months to remain current.

If you do not come in to update your application or to complete a new one, your old application will not be discarded but it will not be considered this time around because we don’t know your current situation.

Yours truly,
KITSUMKALUM BAND COUNCIL
