A NEW LOOK FOR TSAWWASSEN FIRST NATION ONLINE
TsawwassenFirstNation.com has a brand new look!
The website was overhauled to meet the needs of
both Members and leaseholders on Tsawwassen
Lands.
The front page has a calendar and quicklinks to
commonly searched-for webpages. Members are
often looking for local government services, fishing
and hunting cards, and enrolment information.
Leaseholders no longer have to look for how to pay
their taxes, find permits or licenses, or where to
enquire about a compliance and enforcement issue.
Beyond these content and structure changes to
the website, we’ve also overhauled the colours and
fonts to reflect our branding and visual identity.
Please let us know what you think! Tell us
what works or doesn’t work by emailing

TSAWWASSEN MEMBERS, TFN GOVERNMENT NEEDS YOUR INPUT!
Tsawwassen Government invites Members to an information session on the proposed WesPac Tilbury
Marine Jetty Project (Project), facilitated by TFN’s Policy and Intergovernmental Affairs department
and LGL Limited (biological and environmental consultants).
The proponent, WesPac, is proposing to build a marine jetty adjacent to the existing FortisBC
liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on Tilbury Island in the Fraser River (within Tsawwassen
territory). The project would allow for the transfer of LNG from that facility to barges and ocean-
going vessels. The proposed Project began its environmental review in 2015.
Topics on the agenda include a Project description and overview of impacts, including an overview of
other Projects proposed in the area. This is also an opportunity for TFN Members to raise questions
and provide feedback on preferred next steps.
DINNER & HONORARIUM WILL BE PROVIDED TO MEMBERS

terminal located at Roberts Bank, adjacent to Tsawwassen Lands. The Project, if approved, would

first-serve basis. TFN will not be providing help with loading.
Where: South Tsawwassen Drive, just south of Orca Way

Health Alert: Heartburn Product Recall
Health Canada is recalling heartburn medication because
they may have been manufactured with an ingredient that
could be a cancer-causing agent.
Regulators in Canada have reported the presence of an
impurity called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), in low
levels in ranitidine products.
NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen,
meaning long-term exposure to levels above what is
considered safe could increase the risk of cancer.
Four companies, Apotex Inc., Pro Doc Ltée, Sanis Health
Inc. and Sivem Pharmaceuticals, are recalling ranitidine
drugs. It is commonly known by the brand name Zantac.
Please connect with your GP, Pharmacist and/or your Nurse
Practioner to discusses alternative medications that can be
