First Nations
First Nations Partnerships & Reconciliation
Vision: Real nation-to-nation partnership, not just symbolic gestures.
Policy Priorities:
-
Co-develop governance agreements with Treaty 6 First Nations, Métis Settlements, and other First Nations organizations on housing, economic development, and justice reform.
-
Support the creation of a First Nations-Led Cultural & Business Centre, co-funded by the City and private donors.
-
Honor Treaty responsibilities by consulting First Nations and Métis leaders on land use, infrastructure, and major urban projects.
-
Implement the TRC’s Calls to Action and MMIWG (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls) Inquiry Calls for Justice that are within municipal jurisdiction — with annual public progress reports.
-
Promote Elders and First Nations youth in permanent advisory roles across city departments.
