A high-level meeting between the five chiefs of the area First Nations and Premier Christy Clark’s chief of staff Dan Doyle was held Wednesday at the Lower Nicola Band office — the result of the chiefs ending their six-day occupation of Clark’s West Kelowna office.

Lower Nicola Band Chief Aaron Sam said the meeting was intended to focus more on how the two sides are going to communicate on the biosolids issue moving forward.

When the sit-in started, Sam said the protesters would not leave until a moratorium on biosolids was in place.

Although the sit-in ended without a moratorium, Sam said that option and mediation between the two side on the issue are still on the table.

“At this point, I wouldn’t say we’re conceding anything. We left on our own terms, we were there, we made a point,” Sam said, noting the dialogue continues with the government.

Sam said part of the reason the chiefs had to resort to occupying the premier’s constituency office was they thought the government wasn’t taking their concerns seriously.

“Unfortunately, what we did in Kelowna was really a step of almost last resort,” he said.

However, the occupation was carried out in a peaceful and respectful way, Sam said.
