Engagement summary
Doig River First Nation and the B.C. government want to restore important land and waterways. They also want to create jobs and protect places that are important to the Nation’s culture. They will work together on a new Joint Land Use Plan. This plan will be based on the Nation’s own Land Use Plan and on feedback from community members.
Both Doig River First Nation and the Province want the engagement process to be open and easy for people to join. Members of Doig River First Nation, tenure holders, industry, community groups, local governments, and the public will all have a chance to take part. Everyone will be involved and updated on the development of the Joint Land Use Plan.
The Province will also work respectfully with other First Nations by keeping them informed and consulting with them when needed.
