Province and NCN Sign Historic Land-Use Management Agreement

In November 2015, Premier Greg Selinger verbally committed to funding land use planning with Northern First Nations. Among a group of Northern First Nation leaders and conservationists at the announcement, was NCN’s Deputy Chief Ron Spence, councillor Willie Moore and Ed Vystrcil. The First Nations’ leaders were appreciative of the province for their commitment to Indigenous land use planning that will allow First Nations to create jobs in their communities, while protecting and preserving their traditional lands as Land Use Plans are intended to guide responsible resource development within the traditional territories of each First Nation.

After hearing from First Nations about the importance of Land Use Plans, Selinger made a commitment to provide support for Indigenous land-use planning. This led to the Province and NCN signing a Memorandum of Understanding on January 18th 2016. The MOU lays out a clear path for the province and NCN to work together toward the implementation of a land-use plan. Read the Newsletter for the complete story.
