Process

This consultation is part of a broader process to co-develop policy with Indigenous Peoples. This stage of the consultation process involves exploring “policy ideas” and co-developing solutions with Indigenous Peoples. The policy ideas proposed here have been informed through in-person consultations with BC First Nations rights and title holders, Indigenous Peoples in Urban Settings, and Métis citizens. In-person sessions occurred from September to November 2023; a list of dates and locations is available on our Community consultation meetings in 2023 page.

Two dedicated virtual Métis citizen-specific consultations occurred in August 2023 as well as consultations with the Métis Data Governance Committee and Métis Nation BC Health Fair in September 2023.  

Subsequent to this stage of the consultation process, there will be further opportunities to consult, including following enactment should a new B.C. law be passed.  

Your perspectives at this stage in the process are vital to shaping the approach to this new framework and ensuring that Indigenous rights are reflected in the policy framework that could inform a new B.C. law.
