In 1976 when Indian and Northern Affairs Canada dismantled local area offices and First Nations in Manitoba formed Tribal Councils as they are known today. The new Tribal Councils then started the process of administering these program advisory services. One of the program services provided by the West Region Tribal Council (WRTC) is the policy and governance advisory service.
This program provides advice and assistance for WRTC First Nations in the following areas:
- Development of band custom election and citizenship codes
- First Nation local by-laws to address issues affecting the First Nation
- Membership and residency codes
- Interpretation of Treaty agreements and Indian Act policies
- Provide advice on other WRTC programs
- Interpret Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) agreements
- Provide assistance for WRTC member First Nations on the program funding available through ISC.
- Help facilitate WRTC community workshops and public meetings
