Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day:
The Province and seven Carrier Sekani First Nations are re-affirming their shared commitment to implementing a long-term, collaborative vision for reconciliation.
Kitsumkalum First Nation has initiated a Treaty ratification campaign with a ratification date set for Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025.
Snuneymuxw First Nation and the Province have completed a transfer of over 700 hectares of land on te’tuxwtun, also known as Mount Benson North, to the Nation, advancing its reconciliation journey.
The 2024-25 Declaration Act Annual Report showcases the collaborative effort being made by the Province and Indigenous Peoples to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN Declaration) in B.C. and build a better future.
The B.C. Public Service acknowledges the territories of First Nations around B.C. and is grateful to carry out our work on these lands. We acknowledge the rights, interests, priorities, and concerns of all Indigenous Peoples - First Nations, Métis, and Inuit - respecting and acknowledging their distinct cultures, histories, rights, laws, and governments.
