Our Treaty provides us with the self-governing powers, clarity, certainty and transparency that our regional and investment partners have come to value and appreciate.

Tsawwassen Members are united, proud, and confident To unlock the full economic potential of our lands, TFN has invested in our culture; are connected to and taking care of our lands and resources; substantially in strategic infrastructure projects, including new roads, buildings and are healthy, self-reliant, and prospering. and a state-of-the-art sewage treatment facility. The opening of Tsawwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons brought widespread attention to our ambitious plans and progressive vision of self-reliance. We reached deals on our industrial lands to generate new revenue and provide jobs for our Members. Most importantly, we invested in new or expanded programs and services to address socioeconomic gaps and ensure access for all Members to the rights and benefits provided by our Treaty. The purpose of all this work is to support our Tsawwassen Members in building a strong community and economy for our people that is rooted in our culture, language, and tradition.
