A decades-long liquor prohibition in Tsiigehtchic, N.W.T., may be lifted this fall.
On June 11, the band council held a plebiscite with the three options: lift the ban, create conditional liquor regulations, or remain a dry community.
The majority of votes — 28 — were in favour of an “unrestricted” community, said the community’s Senior Administrative Officer Larry Dalley.
Dalley said 47 community members voted in total. Eleven votes were in favour of conditional liquor regulations and six were in favour of remaining a dry community. Two ballots were spoiled.
