Meet the Allotment Commission
The first allotments made by WFN Council, over 30 years ago, were conducted under the authority of the Indian Act. Under self-government, WFN is continuing the practice of allotting lands to Members for housing through the WFN Allotment Law as administered by WFN's Allotment Commission.

He has resided on IR#9 in the heart of the community his whole life. He knows the hard work that entails building a house and is happy with the results.

Way’, hello,
My name is Michael Derickson, son of Kelly And Penny Derickson.
I am a father of two boys, Koda and Boone, and have been married 11 years to my wife, Eden.
I have worked property maintenance for 13 years, here on IR#9. I have just started my new journey running my own company - Tomahawk Irrigation. I take great pride and put my full attention in everything I do, which I believe always pays off in the end. I have joined the allotment commission to get more involved with my community and to help get our membership into housing.
Bio to come.
I am a WFN Elder that has worked within WFN and its entities for many years.
I began my career by owning my own trucking company for thirty years, working for WFN for 2 years and then went onto WIBCO Construction for 13 years until it was closed. I later went to work for Pine Acres Home where I remained for another 13 years until I retired.
My name is Jordan Ned and I am the HR Advisor - Recruitment for WFN. I am also a WFN Member and have worked as Regional Service coordinator for Jordan's Principle at Okanagan Nation Alliance as well as various positions at WFN, including summer student positions, while attending post Secondary.
I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of the allotment commission committee and represent WFN respectfully and professionally.
