Developing real estate and other economic projects on First Nation lands present unique challenges and opportunities. In Saskatchewan, First Nations make up an important and growing segment of the province’s economy, and look to grow and direct their own economic prosperity. This forum assembles leading experts with extensive experience dealing with on-reserve commercial development. They will describe the various legal processes, offer insights on negotiations, and highlight the practical considerations and key elements of successful projects.
PBLI’s comprehensive one-day Learning Event covers the role of AANDC, land regimes, the designation process, environmental assessment and management, head leases and subleases, financing, taxation, and a case study on the highly successful Whitecap Dakota Dunes Casino and Golf Course.
A must-attend for all Aboriginal groups in the region, lawyers and advisers, and government and industry stakeholders!
A relevant and applicable program for First Nations and stakeholders in other provinces and territories. You will learn about the growing economic opportunities for First Nations and their lands, navigating different land regimes, and much more!
