PRFN RECEIVES FIRST DIVIDENDS FROM UMBATA FALLS


Umbata Cheque Presentation
Umbata Cheque Presentation presented by Board Chairperson, Begetekong Power Corporation,
Roy Michano and First Vice-President, Byron LeClair to Band Administrator, Debi Bouchie.


 


 

November 12 marked a day of celebration for Pic River First Nation and their hydroelectric program. Begetekong Power Corporation was pleased to present a cheque to the community from the first dividends from operations at the Umbata Falls Station. The station which was commissioned in November 2008 has performed well beyond expectations. Higher than anticipated water flows and better than expected output from the station generators, have meant that the station has produced 15% more than was originally expected. Indication of a great first year.

The distributions to Pic River will occur every 3 months.  Chief and Council will re-invest some the funds in new project development and invest into community projects as outlined in the community strategic plan.

Pic River News Update 2009-12-08 09:32:19

On October 2, 2009, Pic River First Nation received four computer towers and four lap tops from the Williams Operating Corporation. A shining example of excellent working relationship that the mining company has developed with the First Nation over the years. The four towers will be sent to the Youth Centre, and the lap tops will be utilized between Lands and Resources mapping and the Economic Development Training Centre that will be built by early next year.

Miigwetch to Williams Operating Corporation! 

 



Robert Starr, Director of Finance, accepts the computers on behalf of Pic River First Nation from Roger Souckey, Organizational Development Coodinator / Aboriginal Affairs, Williams Operating Corporation.
