Toquaht Signature Events

People’s Assembly

Toquaht Nation hosts a People’s Assembly every quarter, providing an opportunity for Toquaht citizens to participate in their government’s business. This is a chance to learn about the initiatives and programs that staff are working on and provide input on these matters.

At least one People’s Assembly is held in-person every year at the t̓uk̓ʷaaʔatḥiic hišimyiły̓ak (Toquaht Gathering Place) in m̓aʔaquuʔa (Macoah). The remaining assemblies are held virtually via Zoom. All citizens receive an email invitation, so please ensure that the Toquaht office has your updated contact information.

You can check the Community Calendar to find out the date and location of the next People’s Assembly.
