Policy Sectors
June 8th, 2019
(Ottawa, ON) A meeting called by the membership of the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) to resolve the continuance of Francyne Joe as President of the organization was unable to proceed today, due to a lack of quorum, because of either emergency or extraordinary circumstances on the part of some of the delegates.
“It is unfortunate that due to circumstances beyond our control, we were unable to proceed due to a lack of quorum. That said, a meeting is being planned to address and resolve this issue in July,” said Gail Paul, NWAC’s First Vice President. “What is most important is continuing the critical work the organization is doing to represent the interests of Indigenous women across the country -- including being at the forefront of the implementation of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) Inquiry recommendations.”
