B.C. First Nation Financial Transparency Act documents have started for 2015-16 – thus far, 73 of 186 bands have filed. Here’s what we have as of August 3, 2016:
The 2015-16 B.C. $100,000 Club thus far (elected First Nations officials making six figures):
- Clarence Louie, chief, Osoyoos, $143,659
- Elizabeth Nelson, chief councillor, Fort Nelson, $135,688
- Doug McIntyre, chief, Skuppah, $134,136
- Derek Orr, chief, McLeod Lake, $126,000
- Ron Giesbrecht, chief, Kwikwetlem, $122,422
- Harold Sewid, chief, Mamalilikulla, $120,000

- Wilf Adam, chief, Lake Babine Nation, $106,018
- Marvin Yahey, chief, Blueberry River, $103,268
Bear in mind, this is all tax-free money. To take home $100,000 off-reserve in B.C. last year, you would have needed a gross income of about $140,000.
