First Nation band used to enrich members of a single family to the tune of $4.2 million over 3½ years, according to a forensic audit obtained by Postmedia News. In July, the federal government-funded Ernst & Young audit was provided to the 100 band members who live on the reserve on the outskirts of Invermere near the B.C.-Alberta border. “It is under RCMP investigation,” Chief Barbara Cote and her two councillors said in a recent written statement to members. RelatedSWR is owned by Dean Martin’s son, Robert, while KDC Sand & Gravel is owned by his other son, Richard. The band is also involved in litigation with ex-employees, including Dean Martin.
