VICTORIA — Doig River First Nation and the provincial government are looking for feedback on a land-use planning project being co-developed in a portion of Treaty 8 territory in northeastern B.C.

The primary goals include restoring ecologically important landscapes and waterways, supporting economic opportunities in the region and preserving sites of cultural significance to members of the First Nation, a release reads.

This includes the proposed K’ih tsaa?dze Tribal Park near the B.C.-Alberta border east of Fort St. John.

Since 2021, Doig River First Nation has been working on its own land-use plan, known as Nan wúújq t’aa dâah’aa?. This is a Doig River First Nation planning document and does not establish provincial land management direction for the area, the release notes.

The new plan would incorporate key elements of Nan wúújq t’aa dâah’aa?, but also take into account the province’s overall land-use objectives and the interests of local governments, stakeholders, communities and the public, including nearby residents and those who use or access the plan area.

An online survey allows anyone to provide input into the co-development of the Doig River First Nation-B.C. joint land-use plan.

The survey will be open until March 4.
