Ms. Ogden:

RE: Ban from Wasoqopa'q (Acadia) First Nation Reserves

We are the solicitors for the Wasoqopa'q First Nation. You have been attending at the Yarmouth reserve, without the consent, authorization or approval of Chief and Council of the First Nation. Your attendance has been a disturbance to residents of the reserve.

Chief and Council has reviewed the information and has issued a Ban Order, effective immediately and of indefinite duration, preventing you from entering onto any of its reserve lands or other lands under its jurisdiction or control.

The Indian Act and the First Nation Residency By-Law allow Chief and Council to control who has the right to enter onto its lands, including controlling access by non-Band Members. The Disorderly Conduct and Nuisances Bylaw gives Chief and Council the power to ban individuals, including for certain behaviours.

As a result of this Ban Order, you are not permitted to enter any Wasoqopa'q First Nation reserve or other lands owned or controlled by it, and are banned from access to any residences, stores, businesses or other facilities located on any such reserve, even if invited by a Band Member.

If you enter onto any of these Wasoqopa'q First Nation lands while under this Ban Order, you will be a trespasser and subject to punishment for an offence under Section 30 of the Indian Act, as well as subject to the laying of an information by the Attorney General of Canada under section 31 of the Act.

This Ban Order is of indefinite duration and can only be reversed by a future decision in writing from the Chief and Council. Govern yourself accordingly.

Regards,

D. Bruce Clarke, KC
