LETTER – Resident disgusted with Comox council for denying KFN a grant – Comox Valley Record
May 22, 2024
I hung my head in shame as I saw four members of the Town of Comox council, during their May 1 meeting, vote against providing the K’ómoks First Nation (KFN) with a piddly $2,500 in support of National Indigenous People’s Day scheduled for June 21, an event which all people in the Valley are welcome to attend.
While other jurisdictions in the Valley have supported People’s Day 2024 with monetary contributions, four councillors from the Town of Comox stood against the request. One of those who voted against it mentioned how council is not a funding organization, while another worried about asking too much of Comox residents during tax season.
