    The Wagmatcook Band Council is comprised of a Chief and eight councillors. Governance includes responsibility for the delivery of statutory programs and services to all community members and commercial operations and ventures.

    The Chief and Council are guided by the Wagmatcook Financial Law which sets out an accountability framework for the financial management of the Nations assets. The Council are responsible for establishing a professional administration staff who are responsible for managing community assets and the delivery of programs and services in the community based on the standards set out in the Financial Law.

    Chief and Council have maintained a decision making process which requires unanimous consent by all members on matters which impact the community. It may take longer to reach consensus on a matter, but all Council members are engaged in making decisions to benefit the community and its members.
