The Carrier Sekani Tribal Council (CSTC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Reg Mueller, of Saik’uz First Nation, as the CSTC Deputy Tribal Chief. This appointment is being made due to the success of Tribal Chief Terry Teegee’s bid for the British Columbia Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief.
The work that Terry Teegee is undertaking as the BC Regional Chief is important to all BC First Nations and requires his greater attention. To support Tribal Chief Teegee in his new role the CSTC Board of Directors have appointed Reg Mueller as the Deputy Tribal Chief to assist in the delivery of the services provided by the tribal council until the election for the CSTC Tribal Chief is held in July 2018.
