Webinar - Exploring the various alternatives that can be and are utilized by First Nation governments within BC.
Additions to reserves is a process used by the Canadian government, to formally add land to various First Nations across Canada. Unbelievably the Indian Act is silent on this issue, and as such another mechanism was needed and this led to the creation of the Additions to Reserve Policy in 1972. The policy has been updated three times since then; 1991, 2001, and 2016. The changes and updates were required given the various challenges identified with the process and wording in the policy. Today the policy is located in Chapter 10 of the Lands Management Manual, a manual created by the Canadian government to help administer First Nation land
