With the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tsawwassen First Nation Executive Council called a special meeting of the Legislative Assembly to discuss important issues related to taxation. With a range of amendments and new approaches being enacted by other governments to mitigate negative economic impacts, the Tsawwassen Government has considered what similar steps may look like for TFN.
As any potential amendments to the Property Taxation Act falls under the responsibility of the Legislative Assembly, Executive Council held a special session of the Legislature on May 11 and 13.
In order to accommodate a meeting of the Legislative Assembly, given the circumstances imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings of the Legislature were held electronically using Zoom software. You can rewatch them here:
