Open for Registration, First Nations and Local Government Land Use Planning Regional Workshop

Do you work in land use planning? Are you curious about how UNDRIP impacts the ways local governments and First Nations in B.C. are working together? If you answered yes, join us for the First Nations and Local Government Land Use Planning Regional Workshop, a 2.5-day workshop specifically designed to enhance connections and understanding between First Nations and local governments on land use frameworks and identify tools for developing shared land use practices.

With the input of experienced practitioners from First Nations and local governments, this workshop features regionally curated content for the Vancouver Island and Coast region and is open to attendees from this region only. Learn about legislative and land use frameworks, relevant resources, and inspiring case studies. In addition, take part in facilitated dialogues on opportunities to enhance working relationships between First Nations and local governments.

Review the program brochure and register online before October 1 to receive early bird rates. In the spirit of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, we encourage interested CAOs and Planners to invite Band Managers and Land Use Managers from the First Nation communities they work with to attend the workshop together. First Nation staff are eligible for bursaries. We greatly appreciate the financial support of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.
