Leadership and Governance

The Chief and Council of Muskeg Lake make decisions about community affairs with the guidance of Cree Law and the contributions of community elders. Their goal is to empower members and managers to do their work and act as a resource and a support, rather than to interfere in the day-to-day affairs of the community.

This dedication to guidance and leadership leaves Chief and Council members free to focus their attention on governance, planning and making larger decisions about the growth and care of the Muskeg Lake community.
