LLRIB appoints first ever vice chief

The Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) has appointed Coun. Jimmy Charles as its first ever vice chief.  

The newly created position was established to strengthen leadership capacity and enhance the LLRIB’s ability to serve its members across six electoral sections. Charles was selected by council to take on the additional role following the 2026 general election.  

“This role will help ensure we continue to meet the needs of our communities,” said Chief Tammy Cook-Searson in media release issued Monday.  

“Vice-Chief Jimmy Charles will work closely with me and council members in supporting governance and community priorities.”
