The TFN Service Plan is published annually, and identifies the programs and services that we, as Tsawwassen Government, will deliver over the coming year. It sets out the objectives for the year based on input from a variety of sources, most importantly our Members. Tsawwassen Government uses the Service Plan to set out how we plan to accomplish those objectives and what the anticipated cost will be.
The TFN Annual Report is intended to provide out Members with information on how well Tsawwassen Government has done in meeting the goals set out in the Service Plan. It describes what programs and services Tsawwassen Government delivered over the past year to Tsawwassen Members, and reports on the outcomes of what we intended to accomplish over the past year. It also sets out what our key public institutions – the Tsawwassen Legislature and the Executive Council – have achieved over the past year.
As required under the Final Agreement, the three governments who are signatories to the Treaty (Canada, British Columbia, and Tsawwassen First Nation) established a committee to provide a forum for the parties to discuss and facilitate implementation of the Treaty. This report summarizes progress made in that regard over the previous year.
Land Facing the Sea is a publication that has been in distribution to Members since at least 2010. It has, at various stages, served as a weekly, monthly and quarterly update of Executive Council activities. Originally entitled “Council’s Corner”, in recent years the publication has been updated quarterly. In 2019, it was renamed to Land Facing the Sea, with a stronger focus on Government activities and not just Executive Council.
The Tsawwassen First Nation xʷəliw̓ ənstəxʷ k̓ʷθə syə́w̓ én̓ əł ct (Honouring Our Ancestors) Charter is a post-treaty visionary framework, designed under the umbrella of the treaty document Declaration of Tsawwassen Identity and Nationhood, to guide the Tsawwassen First Nation towards a more prosperous, sustainable, and culturally vibrant future.
The Strategic Plan sets out priorities for the Tsawwassen Government for a five-year period. The plan is the result of comprehensive consultation with the TFN community – this includes workshops and visioning sessions with Members both on and off Tsawwassen Lands, as well as visioning sessions with Tsawwassen Legislature and Executive Council. During that consultation process we ask Members to look forward into the future, and envision the type of community they want to live in. Once drafted, the Strategic Plan is reviewed and endorsed by the Tsawwassen Legislature and Executive Council prior to being published.
