Roy Fabian: back as chief of K'atlodeeche First Nation

After three years away from the job, Roy Fabian is back as chief of K'atlodeeche First Nation on the Hay River Reserve after a three-year absence.

Fabian, 58, defeated Alec Sunrise, who had been chief since 2006, in a vote on June 16.

"I guess the people wanted a change," Fabian said.

The new chief said he was surprised to have won.

"I didn't expect to win because of the way I lost last time," he said.

In 2006, Fabian lost by a two-to-one margin to Sunrise in a two-man race. In unofficial results as of Wednesday morning, he collected 116 votes compared to 70 for Sunrise.

Fabian previously served as chief from 1988-1990 and from 2002-2006. Fabian said, "Programs and services need to be improved," adding the band has good staff members, but they need better direction.

Fabian said it is hoped to hold a community general assembly before the end of August so people can give direction to the new chief and council.
