OTTAWA — The federal government has signed a five-year funding agreement worth more than $187 million to help more First Nations assume governance of reserve lands and their natural resources.
The memorandum of understanding signed Wednesday by Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu and Chief Robert Louie, chair of the Lands Advisory Board and Austin Bear, chair of the First Nations Land Management Resource Centre, will provide additional funding for First Nations land management across the country.
