Special Messages

​On behalf of Ahousaht Chief and Council
Our thoughts, prayers and condolences are with the many grieving families at this
time. We are currently pulling together all necessary support services to assist in
and around our community. A state of emergency is in process of being announced.
​
Tragic and sudden loss is traumatic. Chief and Council recognizes the need for
extra measure to be in place at this time to hold our community up.

Over the next few days, cultural and counselling supports will be accessible for
anyone that requires the added support. Please reach out to any elected Council member,
phone the office or email us at [email protected]

Chief and Council also recognizes that the current losses of life are deeply
impacting our youth and that added supports are also required specifically for
them as well.

We all walk lightly and respectfully during these hard times. Pull your loved ones
close and check in on those that may need extra love during this time.
With love and respect,

Chief Naasathluk on behalf of Chief and Council
