The 亚洲天堂 Lake village council has received $577,004.85 in a dividend cheque from Comfor Management Services as part of its annual fiscal year distribution.

It was yet not known how the money would be spent, as mayor Dolores Funk explained to Lakes District 亚洲天堂.

鈥淲e will be waiting until after the council鈥檚 strategic planning session to determine how and when we will utilize these funds,鈥� she said.

That session is planned for April 14, as was decided during the council鈥檚 March 12 meeting.

The council plans to write a thank you letter to the Comfor board of directors for the cheque.

The fiscal distribution this year is significantly higher than the $412,000 the village received last year from Comfor.

As partners with Comfor, the 亚洲天堂 Lake and Wet鈥檚uwet鈥檈n First Nations also received dividend cheques for $577,004.85 each, said Comfor general manager Frank Varga.

鈥淭heir payment comprised of $432,351.54 which is equivalent to the K1A license document profit share distribution requirements. In addition, Comfor has a corporate policy to distribute 50 per cent of the next profit above a five per cent profit margin. This is specifically to support each nation and community in their economic development initiatives. This amount equated this year to an additional distribution of $144,653.31 to each nation,鈥� Varga added.

Those sums amount to a total of $1,731,000 for all three parties for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.

The profit distributions will be further explained and acknowledged at Comfor鈥檚 annual general meeting on May 16.
