Land Claims Agreements Coalition Leaders Meet to Renew Mandate

Patti Black, Senior Consultant

From the desk of Patti Black:

A Consilium client since 2003, the Land Claims Agreements Coalition held their annual Leadership Meeting and Reception in Ottawa a few weeks ago. Leaders from across Canada joined for a very productive few days of meetings to discuss implementation challenges and successes, and plan the Coalition’s priority action areas for 2012.

Land Claims Agreements Coalition - Modern Treaty Map

Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements – also known as modern treaties - are Constitutionally-protected agreements between Aboriginal signatories, the Federal government, and in some cases territorial and provincial governments. Modern treaties affect close to half of Canada’s lands waters and resources. Patti Black and Kory Goulais worked with the leaders to help set the mandate for 2012.
