FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Chu Chua, British Columbia - The North Thompson Provincial Park Campground will be closed to the general public from July 6 – 9, 2018 to accommodate the Indigenous Traditional Tattoo Action and Gathering.

The event is being held in solidarity with the Secwepemc Land Defenders, an independent advocacy group that, the Chief and Council of Simpcw First Nation wish to make clear, is not affiliated with Simpcw: “While we support the use of our parklands by Secwepemc People and events to promote the protection and preservation of local Indigenous lands and cultural sites, this event is not associated with our Nation”. Chief Loring went on to clarify that “Simpcw First Nation was not involved in the planning or organizing of this event, and while we have been in contact with BC Parks, we were not involved in the decision to close the park”... 		 more info...

Community Watch Meeting  

COMMUNITY WATCH

The community watch group has started meeting on a regular basis. We are an organized group devoted to the prevention of crime and vandalism. Our group consists of 5 dedicated individuals.

The committee discusses any previous activities, they plan, prepare and recommend issues for better safety within our community.

We document any suspicious activities and/or vehicles. Periodically the activities will be forwarded to the RCMP for their records.

Any serious crimes or crimes in process are reported directly to the RCMP.

We have requested signage be put up at both ends of the reserve boundary. With the holiday season quickly approaching, we are encouraging the RCMP to set up road blocks more frequently.

If you are interested in being involved or you just want to report a suspicious activity, please feel free to contact me at 250-319-0459.
