“The community seems to be very engaged now, with all the attention the Membership issue has generated in the past year,” said Membership Portfolio Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer. “We are now about to get into the more contentious sections over the next several meetings, so it is imperative for people to participate and set the direction for this law, and for our future.”
