First Nation Consultations
In alignment with British Columbia's commitment to the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) and legislative mandates, this section underscores the pivotal role of First Nations engagement in local government processes. Its core objective is to foster robust governmental relations that honour Indigenous rights and advance the vital cause of Truth and Reconciliation. Within these pages, we explore the imperative of bridging gaps, fostering collaboration, and ensuring inclusive practices, all vital steps toward a more equitable and harmonious coexistence between local governments and First Nations communities.
