Bennett Library Simon Fraser University Burnaby, BC, Canada ABSTRACT Resolving conflict over allocation of natural resources is a significant challenge facing resource managers. Collaborative planning (CP) recently emerged as one approach to solving such conflict. This case study presents findings from an evaluation of the Central Coast Land and Resource Management Plan, one of multiple CP processes completed in British Columbia since 1992. Results indicate CP provided stakeholders of the Central Coast with a powerful tool to resolve conflict and develop a shared vision for resource management. Benefits of CP went beyond the final land use plan to create knowledge and increase social capital. However, power imbalance at the negotiation table left certain sectors out, First Nations were not fully engaged, and public accountability was lacking. Nonetheless, the final land use plan far exceeds what would have resulted from previous approaches to planning and new relationships formed; supporting results from previous CP research. Key words: British Columbia, collaborative planning, cross-cultural negotiations, government-to-government negotiations, land and resource management plans I dedicate this work to the people of the Central Coast, whose story I have only begun to understand. To all the sector representatives who took the time to complete my survey and speak with me on the phone; this research would not exist without your contributions. Your reflections on the CCLRMP will assist hture planners create improved collaborative processes. I hope I told your part in this incredible journey well. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I could not have completed this project without the guidance, support, and encouragement of many people: faculty, family, and friends. I would like to thank Tom Gunton for inviting me to REM, and guiding me through this research project. I am one step closer to being an effective bureaucrat thanks to Tom, and certainly feel blessed for the wealth of knowledge I have gained from all the faculty and students in REM. Much appreciation to Chad Day for enduring my daily phone calls as I struggled (at the last minute) to get a grip on the Chicago Manual. I am sure this project is a much better product as a result of Chad's dedication to detail. And without Bev Hunter, who knows where I would be. Considering the mayhem REM has survived since September, that Bev has kept, not only her head, but all of ours, above water, speaks to her amazing capabilities. I have no doubt Bev will ensure many more students arrive here - at completion. To my family, a million thanks. I have always believed I could accomplish any task before me. There is not a doubt in my mind that each of you is the source of this strength. To the friends who offered support and guidance from across the Rockies, thank you for believing in me and visiting whenever you could. Every weekend I took off to spend with you was a small gift that contributed to this project in immense ways. To all direct and affiliate members of the Durka Den, thank you for Monday Night Laugh Yoga, for feeding me when the computer was eating my brain, and providing encouraging words when I did not believe anymore. If nothing else this research has proven that laughter truly is the best medicine. To my colleagues and friends at REM. I have learned a lot in my short time here, and I have each of you to thank for that. Never before have I encountered such a challenging, yet encouraging and supportive, group of people. Every time you called me up to bat, I learned another important life lesson. WOW -AH, GM, IP, KP - You ROCK! Finally, I must thank Herb DaSilva of Spartacus Athletic Club. Herb, you kept my body together while I was losing my mind. I can only shake my head at what would have happened without your classes. TABLE OF CONTENTS ..

    1 KWAKIUTL BAND COUNCIL PO Box 1440 Port Hardy BC Phone (250) 949-6012 Fax (250) 949-6066 February 5, 2007 Att: Mr. Rich Coleman, RE: GOVERNMENT APPROVAL FOR WESTERN FOREST PRODUCTS LAND TRANSFER AND INFRINGEMENT OF THE KWAKIUTL FIRST NATION DOUGLAS TREATIES AND TRADITIONAL TERRITORY We learned of the BC Government’s approval of Western Forest Product’s application to remove private lands from its Tree Farm License via news broadcasts. Our relationship, or lack of it, with Western Forest Products and the Ministry of Forests and Range is indicative of the refusal to openly discuss the application and especially when the Kwakiutl First Nation Council met with them on October 4th and 18th of 2006 (contrary to what we stated at these two meetings that this was not consultation nor accommodation). Western Forest Products historically has been blatantly allowed to disregard their obligations by your “watchdogs” to notify First Nation communities of their harvesting plans. These plans have, and always will have, the end result of infringement on our Treaty and Aboriginal rights and title as it exists for our traditional territory. This situation is further exacerbated by non-notification from your office of the recommendation to approve Western Forest Product’s application. It should be obvious to your ministry that there is the obligation to meaningfully consult and accommodate with First Nations and that message should have been strongly stressed to Western Forest Products. Western Forest Products has touted that it has good relationships with First Nations communities on its website but when we look at our relationship with them, the Kwakiutl First Nation must protest that Western Forest Products and Ministry of Forests and Range do not entirely follow legislated protocol.
