This book is intended to provide an understanding about ~he strategy and course of action that the Department of Fisheries & Oceans (DFO) is taking in response to Court directives and Federal policy for the management of Aboriginal fisheries. With the evolving comprehensive treaty negotiations in British Columbia the management of fisheries may take some different shapes. This book will show how the Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy {AFS) can serve to manage the Aboriginal fisheries in the interim period (between now and the settlement of treaties) in a way that is consistent with the exercise of Aboriginal and Treaty Rights and which upholds the honour of the Crown while also experimenting with new potential Aboriginal fisheries and fishing methods and various projects. This book is intended as a general source of information for field staff in the Pacific Region of the Department of Fisheries & oceans. What is the Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy (AFS)? The Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy is a Federal government initiative approved by Cabinet and announced in June 1992 as a long-term national strategy to enhance Aboriginal participation in fisheries. Fish resources are of fundamental importance to Aboriginal · peoples in Canada • . Since the management of fisheries falls primarily within the Federal jurisdiction, Aboriginal groups in British Columbia are pressing the Federal government for significant policy changes to recognize the Aboriginal fishing rights which they are asserting and to test the Federal commitment to a broader Native agenda regarding Aboriginal rights and economic development. The Department of Fisheries & Oceans (DFO) does not have the mandate to enter into agreements with Aboriginal organizations which seek to define or limit Aboriginal or treaty rights. To address policy considerations, however, DFO began: 1 January 1995 -------------~----------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------' ' ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------M-------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------~-------- NEGOTIATING interim agreements on fisheries management, SPARROW-related allocations and economic development with Aboriginal organizations; ENTERING INTO smaller-scale agreements with Aboriginal groups where Aboriginal or treaty rights are not outstanding; ENSURING the interests of others who participate in fisheries are represented and protected through a consultative process; and FUNDING Aboriginal groups to support cooperative fisheries management, related training, economic development, and associated negotiation and consultation costs to reach interim agreements. Why was AFS initiated? Since 1982 the Constitution of Canada has recognized and affirmed existing Aboriginal (non-treaty) and treaty rights. The Constitution Act, 1982 states: 11 35 (1) The existing Aboriginal and treaty rights of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirmed." In the years which have followed that enactment, the question of the extent of the Aboriginal and treaty rights has been raised anew. Natives have attempted to determine through the courts, either as civil claims or as defence to fishing and hunting prosecutions, the extent of their Aboriginal rights. Section 35 (1) of the Constitution

Project A: Governance Model Feasibility Study for Shared Service Delivery 2. Project B: Community Visioning 3. Project C: Community Asset Inventory 4. Project D: Economic Leakage Analysis Project A – Governance Model Feasibility Study for Shared Service Delivery The feasibility study included conducting a literature review and interviews with other regions that have similar attributes to that of the northern SLRD. The literature along with the interviews revealed similar results, primarily the need for relationships and communication between all of the groups involved in an economic development shared service. The Fraser Basin Council recommends that an economic development steering committee be formed to guide the direction of a shared economic development service with representation from all of the parties involved across the sub-region. During the first year, the development and implementation of the service should be facilitated by a third party, non-profit society. Once the committee membership and service have been established, the committee may form a new non-profit society/join an existing one and hire a staff person to carry out the work, or continue to utilize a third party.
