Administration

Staff

The Okanagan Indian Band has a well developed administration, employing over 30 employees to provide services for the first nations people that live on and off the reserve. Through the administration we are able to ensure that the people are well taken care of. Funding provided to OKIB is obtained through annual federal transfer agreements from the Federal government for areas such as:

•  General Band administration
•  Social Services
•  Education
•  Public Works and Housing
•  Natural Resource
•  Land Development
•  Community Health Services

The financial accounting of funds is maintained internally and is reviewed annually by an external accounting firm to meet Canadian standards of accounting which are then submitted to the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development at the closing of each fiscal year.
