Participants will gather in groups to discuss and share why they think Land-Use Planning is import-ant for their community, what they want to get out of a Land-Use Plan, and other key considerations in starting a Land-Use Planning process.

Part of our workshop involves learning and sharing with one another as peers. As our communities progress on the path of Lands

Governance, our collective experience is an invaluable source of information, innovation, and inspiration.

Consultants often play a pivotal role in Land-Use Planning for First Nation communities. In this session, participants will discuss issuing a Request for Proposals and reviewing consultant proposals, and identify what they look for in a good consultant.

Community engagement is the foundation of good land-use planning. Accountability, transparency and open communication are principles that in-formed the development of the Framework Agreement and Land Code.

What does my community want out of a Land Use Plan?
