There's definitely a flooding issue. Along with its neighbouring communities such as Chilliwack and Agassiz, Cheam doesn't have the representation that those communities have with the province and the federal government. The Department of Indian Affairs doesn't come and assist us in flood protection issues that well, whereas the city of Chilliwack has the province. The province actually does most of the engineering and modelling of what should be done, and then it's reviewed later through a CEAA process by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
On our properties, we're kind of left out in the whole evaluation system. I've been directly involved with the province in discussions like that in the past, when I was on the council for our band.
