Dear Editor:

There are at least 50 ballots a day being mailed in to Chief Councilor Judith Sayers' office at the Hupacasath band office as well as 20 to 30 walk-in deliveries per day. Judith is quite pleased with the results to date.

"It is really important to get your ballots in as we need to send a strong message to the government that we are not in favor of the referendum. You don't need to sign it, just send it in blank unless you want to send a personal message to the government," said Judith. She also said that she will be collecting, compiling any messages and forwarding them to the government on your behalf.

Volunteers to assist Judith would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to volunteer and help out, please do not hesitate to contact Judith at the Hupacasath band office at (250) 724-4041. Following are some contacts for some of our First Nations offices. I will collect ballots from (the) Mowachaht /Muchalaht office and the Gold River and Campbell River area. Archie Little has said he would collect ballots from the Nuchatlaht First Nation. Geraldine Tom has volunteered for the Hesquiaht First Nation.
