Snuneymuxw First Nations

I wanted to learn more about the Snuneymuxw First Nations (SFN), as they are the local band here in Nanaimo. Their website (http://www.snuneymuxw.ca/) is well established and very up-to-date. It was interesting to read through the content and learn about not only the current issues facing the band, but all the projects and programs they are working on. The pride in their community is evident from their 20 page bi-weekly newsletter, Snuneymuxw News (http://www.snuneymuxw.ca/news-archive-2010.html), as well as the variety of community support groups and programs available to band members. These include:

• Parent Club (http://www.snuneymuxw.ca/members-information/)
• Youth Centre (http://www.snuneymuxw.ca/youth-centre/) and
• The Breakfast Club (http://www.snuneymuxw.ca/the-breakfast-club.html)

Additional links and information are also available on health and wellness programs, employment opportunities and training, local cultural archives, and even a photo gallery.
