A fresh government-to-government agreement will see the province inch closer to reconcilliation with the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw.
Stemming from a July 22nd treaty agreement-in-principle, today’s announcement marks the first step towards completing a final treaty.
Under the agreement, the pair will work together to develop new approaches to land and resource management, economic development, and a more efficient process for natural resource consultations.
