The New Relationship Trust and the First Nation communities realize the importance of our Elders. Accordingly, the NRT Board of Directors identified Elders as a strategic priority. Our Elders provide the key to a healthy and vital future. The ongoing support and participation of this group is essential to strong, healthy Nations.
The New Relationship Trust allocated $250,000 for 2018/19 to assist BC First Nation Elders in their communities.
