NCN Declares State of Emergency
Covid-19 Special Update
Chief and Council approved a new NCN Emergency Measures Law in accordance with Othasowewin and Aski-Pumenikiwin to replace the old 1992 Indian Act bylaw. An NCN Order in Council was then passed declaring a State of Emergency. This State of Emergency included a number of temporary orders that will remain in effect for up to 60 days unless reduced, amended or extended depending how the pandemic progresses. It includes:
- A ban on non-essential travel into and out of the community, except as required by the NCN Communicable Disease Emergency Plan. All NCN Citizens must remain in the community until Chief and Council lift these safety measures.
- A roadside checkstop will track and monitor all travel through Nelson House
- A ban of transportation of alcohol onto NCN lands
- A mandatory two-week self-isolation if you have travelled outside the province or have been in contact with someone who has.
- These rules apply to all Citizens and organizations on all NCN Lands, except Mystery Lake Lands.
- This mandate will be reviewed weekly. It may be modified, extended or revoked.
- People who do not comply with these-state of-emergency rules may lose their benefits, or be fined, evicted or banished.
