Notice is hereby given that the Haisla Nation held a Nomination Meeting on August 13, 2026, in accordance with the Haisla Nation Custom Election Code (2021), for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Offices of three (3) Councillors, to be elected in a By-Election on September 28, 2026, for the remainder of the original terms.
The candidate with the highest number of votes will be elected to the Councillor seat dissolving June 2029. The two candidates with the next highest number of votes will be elected to the Councillor seats dissolving June 2027.
