Grand Chief Stewart Phillip just one of the many Indigenous leaders and community members at the conference. He is speaking today in favour of a resolution urging government to continue and strengthen the BC DRIPA Act.

I know. I was at a speaking event with Doug White, who got asked about how Dripa was going to work in practice.

“I’ll let you know in 20 years.”

A plan of direction is a modest actual hope. The Heritage Act is the other one that needs it in a big way.

In 2019, the B.C. legislature incorporated UNDRIP into BC law. Known as DRIPA, the statute requires B.C. law to be consistent with UNDRIP. The NDP government has been granting Aboriginal title and control across the province accordingly.

The Conservative Party of BC opposes the NDP government’s approach to indigenous relations, particularly the “Land Back” notion and exclusive “government-to-government” land negotiations.

Good article. Interesting how access groups are complaining about lack of consultation - something indigenous groups have been fighting for for decades when it comes to extraction projects impacting their claimed territories. Reads as access groups unaware and entitled thenarwhal.ca/dripa-bc-cro...

Our MLAs voted to repeal DRIPA today.

Please tell me Pete didn't vote to repeal DRIPA.

One BC is at it again

Today, Dallas Brodie plans to table a bill to "repeal DRIPA and require the government to defend the property rights of British Columbia to the full extent permitted by law"

She's calling it the Property Rights Protection Act

Will it make it past first reading? #bcpoli

A new group voices concern that Indigenous Title will cut access to wilderness areas, but a trail builder says developing a shared vision is the way forward. BC ORC exec says perceived lack of govt transparency unhelpful.

It's Truth and Reconciliation day in Canada.

Lots more to do. But special shout-out to BC for being first on DRIPA.
