“BC Cabinet and First Nation Leaders Gathering was a Bust… BC Couldn’t agree on commitment… The Fight continues,,, we will remain committed with our Nations, shoulder to shoulder… The Province will have work with us eventually,,, they don’t have a choice… We have Title & Rights and hold Certainty… Proud of the Leaders today and the past Leaders that got us here… As I said the Fight continues!”

Government News release:

“Those in attendance acknowledged that the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Tsilhqot’in Nation is a historic opportunity to work together to build a new path for recognition and reconciliation in the province.

The decision also establishes a new reality and legal landscape for our
transformed relationship, and that implementation of that decision must be
a joint endeavour to achieve success and will require hard work.”
