Re: Special distribution of one-time money to membership Dear Squamish Nation Members, We are pleased to inform you that, yesterday, the Squamish Nation Council passed a motion approving an additional distribution of $1.3 million to Squamish Nation members. Each member will receive approximately $315.... This special distribution is a share of one-time money received from the Department of Environment lease. The disbursement will take place on February 11-12, 2021. A formal notice with deadlines for changes to direct deposit information will be shared early in the new year. We hope these additional funds will help to ease some of your burdens from this particularly challenging year. Sending you and your families our warmest wishes for a wonderful holiday season! Sincerely, Tiyáltelut, Kristen Rivers, Council Co-Chair Skwetsi7meltxw, Joshua Joseph, Council Co-Chair
