Council disciplined the mayor for jeopardizing their relationship with Indigenous communities
Quesnel city council took steps this week to discipline Mayor Ron Paull for jeopardizing relations with Lhtako Dene Nation and other Indigenous communities in the region.
“We are aware that Quesnel’s city council has censured Mayor Ron Paull, and revoked his appointment to the CRD’s board of directors as a result,’ noted Wagner. “We will welcome the new municipal representative to the Board once they have been selected by Quesnel’s City Council. Our Board as a whole remains committed to the principles of reconciliation and strengthening our relationships with all the Indigenous governments in the Cariboo and Chilcotin.
Last month a contingent of First Nations chiefs, residential school survivors and descendants, and community at large attend a council meeting and called for the resignation of Paull.
