The Acho Dene Koe First Nation is exploring the idea of merging with the municipality of Fort Liard to form a single local government.

The First Nation’s chief and council first indicated during negotiations with the GNWT several years ago that it would seek to form one government on signing a self-government agreement, said acting band manager Boyd Clark.

Self-government negotiations have been ongoing for nearly two decades, with a framework agreement signed in July 2008.

More recently, ADKFN has been looking to move up the timeline for amalgamation, which Clark said would help streamline things like emergency response and provision of services.
