November 1, 2009
Natural Resource Region: skeena
District: coast-mountains

The Nisga’a Final Agreement (the Agreement), which came into effect on May 11, 2000, is a treaty between the Nisga’a Lisims government, the Canadian government, and the government of British Columbia. Part of the Agreement required the Forest Practices Board (the Board) to perform annual audits of compliance with, and enforcement of, forest practices legislation and forestry-related requirements of the Agreement during a five-year transition period, which ended on May 10, 2005.

The Board conducts its work throughout British Columbia, and we respectfully acknowledge the territories of the many Indigenous Peoples who have lived on these lands since time immemorial.
