FNFC Implementation
1.
Introduction
The Implementation Plan is a companion document to the revitalized British Columbia First Nations Forest Strategy (the Strategy). The purpose of the Strategy is to set the vision and strategic direction for increasing the role First Nations play in the management and use of forest lands and resources, with the intention of First Nations becoming full partners. The Implementation Plan outlines the actions that will be taken to realize the objectives identified in the Strategy.
This process will focus on identifying barriers to reconciliation and making recommendations for changing policy, programs, legislation and regulations to support the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP), and Truth and Reconciliation Report’s Calls-to-Action (TRC). Although the First Nations Forestry Council (FNFC) and the Province are partnering to do this work, it does not replace the need for on-going, robust Government to Government relationships between the Province and First Nations. The Province and the FNFC do not represent or speak on behalf of First Nations, and always respect the autonomy, decisions and direction from, First Nations Leadership.
We are looking to get additional input into the objectives and actions in the Draft BC First Nations Forest Strategy and Implementation Plan.
There are six (6) goals outlined in the strategy. Please review each of the goals, objectives and actions and answer the questions provided.
We value your time and your feedback as we continue to support the modernization of the Government to Government (G2G) relationship between the Province and First nations through a collaborative approach to forest governance and stewarship.
