Planning is the lifeblood of effective land management, and whether you operate under the Indian Act, a Land Code under the First Nations Land Management Act or a modern treaty, Indigenous communities like yours are using land use planning to steward and protect their lands and waters for current and future generations. If your First Nation is planning for future development on reserve lands, or working on cutting-edge initiatives like the creation of Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas, we provide legal and policy advice to help you design plans and planning processes that reflect your values, respect your governance traditions, and help your government fulfill the needs and aspirations of your community.
