Kitselas First Nation Chief Glenn Bennett is calling a new agreement with the Province a significant achievement for the Nation.
That agreement will see the pair collaborate on decision-making during environmental assessments conducted on their territory.
Chief Bennett says the agreement offers a means for the Nation to incorporate their unique community values into the assessment process.
It aims to provide clear direction for all proponents on how to work productively and respectfully with the Nation, ensuring their interests are met.
With the agreement, Kitselas becomes just the second First Nation in BC to reach an Environmental Assessment Agreement with the province.
