Chief of Driftpile Cree Nation
During the Interim Period leading up to the election scheduled for January 20, 2025, the Driftpile Cree Nation is being governed under a caretaker framework to ensure continuity and stability in community operations. While the Chief and Council’s term officially concludes on December 18, 2024, governance responsibilities have transitioned to a limited caretaker model, overseen by the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) in collaboration with designated Council members.
This interim governance ensures that essential services and operations continue seamlessly while respecting the importance of preparing for a successful and inclusive election. The focus during this period remains on maintaining the Driftpile Cree Nation’s commitments to its members, upholding cultural values, and fostering stability for the incoming leadership.
We look forward to welcoming a newly elected Chief and Council who will continue guiding our community toward progress and prosperity.
