Historic grad ceremony tonight
The Tulo Centre of Indigenous Economics and First Nations Tax Commission will be honouring the first graduating class of the First Nations tax-administration certificate program at a special ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 6, at Thompson Rivers University.
Eleven graduates will be recognized for their successful completion of the inaugural program in First Nations tax administration, which is offered in partnership with TRU.
The certificate program is designed to create professional First Nation tax administrators and it provides students with knowledge and practical skills necessary to realize the benefits of the First Nations Fiscal and Statistical Management Act.
In particular, it teaches successful graduates how to create the legal and administrative framework and finance infrastructure to support effective markets on First Nation lands.
This is the first university accredited certificate in First Nation tax administration that focusses on investment facilitation in the world.

The ceremony will take place at 7 p.m. in the Campus Activity Centre’s Terrace Room.
