Chief Derek Epp, Ch’íyáqtel First Nation Additions-to-Reserve Policy Ep.50
In this special series we’re diving into Canada’s Additions-to-Reserve policy — a crucial yet complex issue for First Nations communities across the country.
If you’re unfamiliar with Additions to reserve - or ATR - it’s the process through which Canada allows land to be added to a First Nation’s reserve. But it’s often a long, frustrating, and inefficient journey.
In this episode, Chief Derek Epp of Ch’íyáqtel (formerly Tzeachten First Nation) in B.C. talks about an exciting pilot project that shows the process can happen much more quickly. It's a tool that can help Nations grow socially and economically.
