Lower Nicola First Nation: the 59th Operational signatory community under the Framework Agreement!!

Press Release

Another Community Votes “YES”!

On August 11th and 12th, the Lower Nicola First Nation became the 59th Operational signatory community under the Framework Agreement, after voting to ratify its land code. It was yet another important moment in the history of the Framework Agreement as Lower Nicola First Nation members voted with a very clear majority that they wished to resume their jurisdiction over their lands and resources, placing major decisions for their future solidly back into their own hands.

Congratulations to the members of each community as they resume governance over their lands and resources!
