“Our General Assemblies are about accountability and connection. This is the time for Citizens to ask questions, to guide our direction, and to be part of the important decisions that shape our future. It is also a time to celebrate our children and families, to honour our teachings, and to strengthen our bonds as one Nation” – hegus John Hackett
Summary Text body
The General Assembly is held twice annually and is a time for Citizens to engage meaningfully with Tla’amin governance and administration, and connect with the territory and one another.
Assemblies are guided by Tla’amin’s highest law, the Tla’amin Constitution ( https://tlaamin.boleyn.dev/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Tlaamin-Constitution-April-5-2016-consolidation.pdf) and its rules are set out in the General Assembly Regulation p. 20 (https://tlaamin.boleyn.dev/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Government-Law.pdf) Usually held over two days, these gatherings provide space to hear reports, set policy directions, and make recommendations by way of resolution.
All Tla’amin Citizens, their spouses, and non-Citizen caregivers of Tla’amin children are welcome.
The Next General Assembly is scheduled for April 2026.
