Province hands over 2276 hectares near Campbell River to First Nation – Times Colonist
Agreement with Wei Wai Kum First Nation
In a deal designed to improve the economic circumstances of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation, the province has signed over 2,276 hectares of land to the nation near Campbell River.
The transfer of traditional territory in an Incremental Treaty Agreement should help increase Wei Wai Kum First Nation’s participation in the forest industry while providing its citizens access to lands for cultural and harvesting activities.
“This agreement and transfer of land back to our nation is a significant milestone in the treaty negotiations process and ongoing journey of reconciliation,” said Chief Chris Roberts.
