DISTRIBUTION FOR THOSE MEMBERS WHO LIVE OFF-RESERVE

Please READ the following carefully.

The Nation is planning to do a $300.00 distribution for all its members, to help them address this very scary wave of Covid-19 that is happening in Saskatchewan at this time.

There will only be one distribution center for our off-reserve members. This will be in Saskatoon on Friday, December 11 at the Ramada Hotel – Saskatchewan Room. Address is 806 Idylwyld Drive North. It will start at 10am and run throughout the day.

We apologize for any inconvenience these guidelines may cause you, but we are thinking of everyone’s personal safety and well-being.

Please follow our rules,

  1. Please wear a mask when you arrive at the hotel (SHA mandated guidelines),
  2. Payments will not be given to any person other than the person it is going to, unless it is a dependent (under 18 & disabled),
  3. If your child or children are co-parented, both parents should attempt to be present so as not to cause problems of who should get the money,
  4. Do not bring your children with you to the hotel,
  5. Please comply with the on-site security and rules of the hotel, and
  6. Please do not come to the on-reserve distribution, as you will be turned away by border security.

Keep in mind, nothing is perfect. Murphy’s Law states, “If something can go wrong, it will.” So please be patient and kind with our staff. They are putting their lives at risk to ensure you and your family get your distribution.
