Band Council Resolutions

A Band Council Resolution (BCR) holds significant importance within the governance structure of Indigenous communities, including the Mississauga First Nation. It is a formal decision-making tool used by the Band Council to address a wide range of matters that impact the community's well-being, development, and self-governance.
​
In the context of the Mississauga First Nation, a BCR is a written document that outlines a specific decision or course of action that the Band Council intends to undertake. These resolutions cover various aspects of community life, such as social programs, economic development initiatives, land management, cultural preservation, education, healthcare, housing, and more. They serve as a means for the leadership to communicate their intentions, strategies, and plans to the community members.
