UPCOMING EVENTS – 2010

Land – The Economic and Social Platform for First Nations

The certainty of land ownership can manifest in community services and sustainable economic development. How this is accomplished is open to a wide variety of options now facing First Nations in Canada.  Canada’s re-emerging and evolving First Nations face some unique and common issues of economic development, community services and revenue certainty.  Recent and pending legislative changes support the establishment of Aboriginal institutions in Canada designed to accelerate First Nations governance and the self administration of land-based revenue systems.  The International Property Tax Institute (IPTI), in co-operation with First Nations Tax Commission (FNTC), formerly the Indian Taxation Advisory Board, British Columbia Assessment and the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, invite you to participate in a two-day symposium dealing with land as the economic and social underpinning for First Nations. 

This event will be held on traditional Coast Salish territory of the Songhees people in Victoria, British Columbia, at the Delta Victoria Pointe Resort, Victoria, BC on March 16-17, 2010
