Our tenth webinar of the year is titled: Indigenous Legal Issues 2022 Recap. The webinar will take place on Wednesday, December 7, 2022 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm via Zoom.

We have seen considerable activity around Indigenous Legal Issues/Aboriginal Law and natural resources in 2022. With government commitment to reconciliation, businesses stepping up to ESG and as UNDRIP is implemented, we expect to see more activity in this space.

In this webinar, Julie Abouchar, Charles Birchall, Carl McKay, and Lauren Wortsman will:

• provide an update on recent case law that builds on the duty to consult, Indigenous laws and modern treaty interpretation
• survey actions to implement UNDRIP both federally and in BC,
• review the key drivers behind developments in Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas,
• provide an update on the status of Ring of Fire environmental assessments,
• discuss how Crown funding agreements may trigger the duty to consult, and
• consider how both Impact Benefit Agreements and equity partnerships support Indigenous participation in projects.
