Intergovernmental UNDRIP Task Force Work Underway
Since designating itself as a City of Reconciliation in 2014, the City has made long-term commitments to strengthen relationships with the three Host Nations, Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh, and the urban Indigenous community.
The local Nations and the City of Vancouver are at the forefront of implementing UNDRIP at the municipal level in Canada. While working collaboratively to seek additional support from provincial and federal government partners, the intergovernmental UNDRIP Task Force continues to move forward on its shared workplan.
Over the course of the next year, the UNDRIP Task Force is working to develop recommendations in alignment with the four themes of the BC Provincial Declaration on the Rights on Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) Draft Action Plan:
- Social, cultural and economic well-being
- Ending Indigenous-specific racism and discrimination
- Self-determination and inherent right of self-government
- Title and rights of Indigenous Peoples
