Deer Lake Chief Evelyn Meekis, Keewaywin Chief John McKay, McDowell Lake Chief Eli James, North Spirit Lake Councillor David Campbell and Poplar Hill Councillor Danny Owen attended the one day meeting in Balmertown.
On Wednesday, August 6, the Chiefs reviewed this past year's audit with Kevin Houghton, KO's Finance Officer.
