Re: Fall Feasts 2024
Our annual Fall Feast season is officially underway as of October 2024. The information provided will outline the budget and expectations from each unit for their Fall Feasts.
Hosting your event
Local units are expected to organize and host events for their community. The type, time and location of the event is decided by each unit and based on the expectations of the community members. All Tikinagan staff serving the community should be involved in planning wherever possible.
Budget for 2024
The budget for each community for food, supplies and other necessities for their event has been set at $5000. Please ensure your PO request note that the supplies/expenses are for your community’s Fall Feast.
If you require assistance planning or shopping for your event, please reach out to the Prevention Department. Additionally, the Prevention Department can travel to your community to provide support for your event if your community has a low number of staff. Purchase Orders (POs) are to be on General Purchase Orders.
