b) The Board endorsed the following recommendation from the First Nations Relations Committee:

That cultural competency training be budgeted for and provided to all Board members after the next local government election cycle, and potentially on an ongoing basis in the future. Further, that after the next election cycle, local Indigenous leaders be invited to informal relationship building sessions with the CRD Chair, First Nations Relations Committee Chair, and local Electoral Area Directors. These initial sessions will be held sub-regionally and will not be in a meeting format but rather the sharing of a meal and a chance to get to know each other. And further, that staff look into our eligibility to apply for grant funding to help offset the cost of these relationship building and cultural competency opportunities
