The Tseshaht First Nation is holding a special community meeting in Port Alberni, British Columbia, to discuss new local projects and nation-wide plans. The gathering takes place on March 25, 2026, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Elected Chief Councillor Wahmeesh (Ken Watts) and the nation’s council are using the forum to hear directly from residents. The goal is to keep everyone updated and involved in how the community makes big decisions about its future.

This discussion happens as the nation manages a $16.45 million economic agreement with the Province of British Columbia. That funding, which was first announced in 2024, is set to support local projects through 2027.

Members will have the chance to ask questions and provide feedback on various community-led efforts. These regular gatherings are part of the nation’s focus on being open with its residents about social progress and new developments in the Alberni Valley.
