Partnering with First Nations Representatives, the province is providing $8.9 million towards land and resource co-management.
Over the next 3 years, that funding will support the development of the Guardian and Stewardship Training Initiative.
That training plan will be developed with First Nations partners to make post-secondary education more accessible to increase guardian and stewardship capacity.
Stewardship training will ensure that Guardians can continue work that includes identifying areas for conservation and places where economic and resource development is possible.
Together, the province and First Nations leaders will work throughout 2023 to determine the parameters and structure with hopes to launch the program in spring 2024.
