General Assembly

As set down by the VGFN Constitution, a meeting of the General Assembly be held each year in August. In addition to this annual meeting, which is held over a period of several days, special meetings of the General Assembly may be called by Council at other times throughout the year. 

VGFN Citizens who are 16 years of age or older may vote at any meeting of the General Assembly, while Chief and Councillors are considered observers and non-voting members. While the General Assembly strives to make decisions by consensus, if consensus cannot be reached, decisions are carried by a majority vote.
