Abstract:
The Village of Kaslo has recognized it has an obligation and duty to take part in the reconciliation process with Canada’s First Nations.
Council approved a motion at its Sept. 21 meeting that endorses the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls for Action, which include municipal governments in its recommendations. The motion also says the Village recognizes it has a duty to consult and engage with local Indigenous communities towards mutual learning and understanding during the Official Community Plan review process. It commits the Village to harmonize its bylaws and policies with the relevant principles of UNDRIP and the Calls to Action.Local Government(s):
