It’s about a brighter future.
Indigenous Human Rights Set in B.C. Law
New legislation will put B.C. laws in line with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This is a historic moment for everyone in B.C.
B.C.’s new law recognizes and respects the human rights of Indigenous peoples and will help to build a stronger B.C.
It makes sure Indigenous peoples are a part of the decisions that affect them, their families and their territories. It provides a way forward on reconciliation with a plan that will work for everyone in B.C.
Indigenous peoples and the B.C. government are building a better future, together. That means good jobs and opportunities that benefit all, while protecting the land, air and water.
Working together, we’re making real progress.
