Here are the nine questions. After that, I'll put a couple of charts from the numbers. HINT: the board of the Kanehsatake Health Center gets a great big fat "F" so far. "F" stands for f**ked.
Read on, here are the survey questions:
- The Board of Directors of the Kanehsatà:ke Health Center respects and applies Aboriginal principles of fairness, openness and respect
- Your Board develops and maintains a longer term vision and clear sense of direction
- The KHC Board of Directors ensures the prevalence of high ethical standards
- Ensures effective performance through sound information and regular communications with the members
- Ensures the financial & organizational health of the organization
- Understands and honours the roles and legal obligations of a director of an not-for-profit corporation
- Ensures sound relationships with membership, clients & citizens
- Is accountable to the membership
- Ensures the soundness of the governance system

| Results of 12 respondents - hugely negative on Board performance |
 | |||
| For example, take this first question which is similar to most of the results. Most of the respondents didn't rate the Kanehsatake health Center's board of directors very highly. |
These results should be looked at by people at Kanehsatake but also by the board itself. The board got low marks across the board - from communicating with members to treating people with respect, to handling finances and budgets well, and making themselves accountable.
In my opinion, this is what should be done very year to the Health Center's board to make sure that they do their jobs properly and to a professional standard. But people in the community should do something similar with the band council to make sure that the council as a whole, and the individual councillors, perform to the community's standards. Right now, they have none.
