Land Title Case Discussed at Quesnel Chamber AGM

The Williams decision, the historic land title case involving the Tsilhqott’in National Government, came up at the Quesnel and District Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meeting this afternoon.
John Winter, the outgoing BC Chamber of Commerce President, was the guest speaker.
He says the decision created the opportunity to create a framework for the three main proponents involved in the use of the land…First Nations, the crown and industry…
