A new Chief Administrative officer has been appointed for the Tla’amin Nation.
Russell Brewer was appointed to the role earlier this week after serving as the nation’s chief operating officer since October 2023.
In his previous role he oversaw public works, lands, resources, the fire department, emergency department, education, health, and community services.
Hegus John Hackett says by selecting people within the nation, it provides stability while continuing their operations.
“We are excited that Russell has stepped forward to take on more responsibility,” said Hackett.
“He has proven himself a caring and capable leader and is well suited for our Tla’amin environment.”
They say Brewer brings over a decade of experience into the job, having previously worked as a school district trustee, municipal director at the regional district, two-term city councillor and chief administrative officer for the city, as well as chief public affairs officer at the Métis Nation BC.
He will be adding human resources, communications, IT, and intergovernmental relations to his portfolio.
Brewers says he’s grateful to continue serving the nation and he is also thrilled to work with the staff in his new role.
