Please be advised that pursuant to the authority conferred to the Honourable Don McMorris, Minister of Government Relations, a Financial Controller has been appointed for the Northern Village of Sandy Bay since November 2023.

 

This appointment is intended to assist Village officials by providing direct control over municipal expenditures and liabilities, to establish necessary financial controls for the Village. The Financial Controller is responsible for ensuring available funds are appropriately directed to deliver critical municipal services, address immediate priority financial obligations, stabilize the Village’s financial situation, and establish a fulsome accounting of the Village’s financial situation.

 

This means that the independent financial authorities and powers of the Village council have been suspended, and these powers and authorities are provided to the Financial Controller.

 

A municipal inspection was also held in 2023, and the inspector's report can be found here.
