On October 9, 2025, from 9:00am to 8:00pm it is time to vote for our Squw’utsun’a’lh Sniw’ ‘u tu Stutul’na’mut (our proposed Education Law), which was created to take back our authority over educating our smun’eem.Cowichan Tribes have always governed and stewarded our Quw’utsun tumuhw, guided by our laws, traditions, and culture. Education Jurisdiction affirms our inherent rights of self-determination and self-government. In 2022, Cowichan Tribes Members voted to approve the education jurisdiction and law-making protocol agreements with Canada. We are now formalizing this work through our own Education Law, rooted in our squw’utsun’a’lh syuw’entst ‘i’ snuw’uy’ulh.
Voting will occur:
- in-person at the Si’em Lelum Gym on October 9
- online at https://www.onefeather.ca/nations/cowichan from September 22 to October 9, 2025
- or you can request a mail-in ballot (requests must be received by September 25, 2025).
There will be upcoming events and opportunities to ask questions and get more information including at our Community Dinner and Info Session on September 23, 2025.
