ATTENTION to SOCIAL CLIENTS:
At the last duly convened Chief and Council meetings held on September 9, 2019, and October 8, 2019, the following decisions were established:
1. There are to be no social advances and everyone is to pick up their own cheques, unless an arrangement is made with the Social Administer beforehand.
2. All medical requests are to be referred to the Health Centre, and if someone is asking for a medical cheque, they will have to wait until the Medical Centre informs the Social Department whether the client has received assistance or not.
3. Emergency cheques will not be issued until a proper investigation has completed; Supporting documentation is expected. We will not tolerate harassment. Those clients who harass staff may be subject to restricted access to the Band Office and their calls will not be accepted.
4. Direct Deposit is not an avenue that the Chief and Council wants to pursue, as it could lead to further abuse. All welfare cheques are to be picked up in person or mailed to the recipient’s home address.
5. Any Social client with a commercial business operating from their home will not be eligible for assistance of any kind from the Millbrook Social Department.
Millbrook Chief and Council in partnership with Millbrook RCMP extend an invitation to the community to attend a community engagement session. This session will be aimed to seek community input and to promote conversations centered around the topic of drugs.
This event will be conducted as a question and answer panel with representatives from both Millbrook Chief and Council and Millbrook RCMP in attendance.
