Food, Social & Ceremonial Fishing Licence Requirements
Attention to Kitsumkalum Band Members. 
The Kitsumkalum Band wishes to inform the Kitsumkalum Band Members that the use of the Ktsumkalum Food, Social & Ceremonial Fishing Licence will be mandatory to fish within Traditional Fishing Territory.
From the Powerline Crossing at the Skeena River Bridge located Highway 16 East of Terrace, downstream to the Coast, including Areas 3,4,5,103, 104 & 105.
To be eligible for FSC Fishing Licence, you must be a Kitsumkalum Band Member or a member through legal marriage. Common Law Spouse is not eligible to obtain a FSC Fishing Licence.
The FSC Fishing Licence is non transferable to a non Kitsumkalum Band Member, and the Band Member fishing the licence must be present during fishing times.
Details of the licence are included in the Kitsumkalum Indian Band Food, Social & Ceremonial Rules and Regulations 2010-11.
The reason for this change is food fishing has been abused in previous years and popular fishing sites are in a situation of competition for use of fish harvest. These problems have been brought to the attention of Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and they ask that Kitsumkalum Band gain control of the fishery.
Kitsumkalum is working toward Co-Management and if Kitsumkalum is given the opportunity, we must work with DFO with our rights intact.
Fishing Licenses will be available at the Kitsumkalum Fisheries Office.
Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm.
*This Notification will be posted with the Kitsumkalum Informer News Letter and on the Kitsumkalum web site.
Thank you,
Kitsumkalum Band Council

Kitsumkalum Participates in the Vancouver 2010 Torch Relay
“We invited the Kitsumkalum community to participate by volunteering to sit on the organizing committee and we were very pleased to see a huge turnout. We now have eight committees formed and a total of 11 organizing committee members with many other volunteers being recruited for event day,” says committee member Wayne Bolton.
“We are looking to bring Olympic memories and a lasting legacy to the community. Vancouver is not going to be accessible to most of the people here and the Torch Relay is a great way to create that legacy and inspire our community, the children and future generations to come,” says band manager Steve Roberts.
Committee members include Laura Miller, Kathy Mansouri, Birgitte Bartlett, Wayne Bolton, Colleen Austin, Annie Bolton, Lucinda Sager, Ron Bartlett, Lorna Brown, Nina Peden and community businesses like Nikita Marketing Communications.

Kalum Youth Keepin Busy!
Greetings all,
February 22, 2010
Well the youth and I were at it again.
This weekend it was Aaron Bolton, Johnathan Bolan and I who were out and about at Tempo selling Car Wash’s and we made a killing, we brought in $585 for us.
That was our take home we sold a crazy amount of Car wash’s 117 to be exact.
Most of the support came from people from the week before who couldn’t buy a Car Wash then, but came back this week to buy 1 and they brought their friends.
We are getting an amazing amount of support for our Fundraiser and would like to Thank Dave and the staff at Tempo for allowing us to sell the Car Wash’s.
Come down on Sundays and buy an Extreme Car Wash for $10 and help out a good cause.
For every car wash we sell it get’s closer for 1 more youth to go up the ski hill next season, gets us closer to getting that equipment that needs to be replaced in the hall.
Come out and support our Cause the youth in Kalum

The snowboard group did a little fundraiser for four hours and made $200.00
Tempo is doing awesome with the support that they are giving the youth in the community, they have offered us a deal and a great deal at that for our fundraising.
We are on a 50/50 system with Tempo for the car wash’s and for every Super Save Discount card we sell we get $5 from every sale.
All the proceeds go towards what we need in the community new equipment for the hall, basketballs, volleyballs, nets, hoops equipment that needs to be replaced and has not been used since the hall was opened.
Thank you all for the support
