About Tsi Del Del Development Corporation
The Tsi Del Del Development Corporation was formed in 2013 and is solely owned by the Alexis Creek First Nation. Our current business initiatives under the corporation include the Tsi Del Del Timber Development, the Redstone Gas Bar/Convenience Store, and the Tsi Del Del Energy Drink Ltd.
Tsi Del Del Development Corporation has recently undergone a strategic organizational transformation and is now led by a board of 5 directors with varying skill sets and responsibilities. Thanks to this transformation we're now ready to take the next step in developing our corporation and generating revenue for the Alexis Creek First Nation.
About the Community and Chilanko Forks
The Alexis Creek First Nation (Tŝideldel) is located in Chilanko Forks, BC which is 177km west of Williams Lake on Highway 20. The Nengayni Deni "First Nations People" of Tŝideldel (Redstone) are part of the Tsilhqot'in Nation.
Today we are a small, semi-rural community with a population of about 700 of which approximately 240 members live on the reserve. Many people of Tŝideldel have families, work, attend school, play sports, and actively pass on Tsilhqot'in culture and knowledge to the youth. In terms of past times many still love to go out hunting, fishing, craft making, drumming, singing, and playing Lehal while living amongst breathtaking natural beauty.
