 Planning gives the community the

framework and process to:

  • Examine its core values
  • Create a vision for the future
  • Work towards achieving that vision

 While the base land use planning tools are

similar, every community is unique

 Urban Systems has worked with numerous

FN communities throughout Canada – from BC to Nova Scotia – for nearly four decades

slide-20
SLIDE 20

 Planning issues are often a source of conflict, as

planning is a balance act between many competing interests

slide-21
SLIDE 21

 A key issue of planning is finding the right balance

between individual property interests the broader community interest

 Prior to 1996, options for direct First Nation

land management were limited (self- government or treaties)

 In February 1996, 14 Chiefs signed the

Framework Agreement with Canada for First Nations to manage their lands under their

  • wn Land Code

 Framework Agreement established the

Lands Advisory Board (LAB)

 In June 1999, Canada enacted the First

Nations Land Management Act (FNLMA)

 Once a First Nation has ratified the

Framework Agreement and has begun

  • perating under its Land Code, thirty-four

(34) sections of the Indian Act related to land management no longer apply to the local FN’s reserve lands and resources

 Other laws associated with Land Code

include:

  • Matrimonial Property Laws
  • Zoning and Land Use Laws
  • Infrastructure, Development and Building Laws
  • Financial Management Laws
  • Others

 Once the planning “rules” are set, important to

set out procedures in Law in order to follow and/or amend the plan

 Under Land Code, Chief and Council are

generally given the responsibility to amend land use plan, but some tasks can be delegated to

  • thers, including:
  • Land Management Board / Advisory Planning

Commission

  • Development Corporation
  • Approving Officer / Lands Manager

 Development Process Flowcharts are helpful ,

and provide application consistency to secure investment
