Lac Seul F.N. Settlement Vote


Lac Seul First Nation will be voting today on a 27 million dollar settlement offer on its old timber claim.

A voting booth will be set up in a number of communities across the region, including Thunder Bay.

Lac Seul received the offer from the Canadian Government to settle the claim which dates back to a harvested burn on reserve lands in 1907 and the surrender of the reserve's timber in 1919.

The voting will take place from 7:00 this morning until 7:00 this evening.
