The governments of Canada and British Columbia, and BC First Nations are working to negotiate modern treaties under the British Columbia treaty process. The Federal Treaty Negotiation Office represents all Canadians and federal departments and agencies in the negotiations.

The goal of the BC treaty process is to build new relationships with First Nations, achieve certainty over ownership and use of land and resources, and enhance economic opportunities for First Nations.

At this site, you can learn more about why and how we are negotiating treaties and what's being negotiated. You can also learn about recent developments in negotiations.
