With a focus on local governance, SCTC empowers First Nations to develop administrative and managerial skills necessary for providing local services independently. The council, composed of elected Chiefs, ensures equitable and effective delivery of these services, reducing dependency on Indian and Northern Affairs Canada for local concerns.
