Westbank First Nation (WFN) enacted the Advisory Council Law on April 1, 2005 to provide Non-Members living on Westbank Lands, or having an interest in Westbank Lands, with a mechanism through which they may have input into proposed Westbank Law and proposed amendments to Westbank Law that directly and significantly affects them. The law provides for the establishment of five Advisory Council members, comprised of residents from each of the five districts. WFN residents vote to elect Councillors to the Advisory Council, while WFN Members vote to elect a Chief & Council.
