General Information

Background

The BC Treaty Commission ("BCTC") was created in September 1992 through an agreement between the Government of Canada, the Government of British Columbia and the First Nations Summit ("the Principals"), whose members represent the majority of First Nations in British Columbia.

The BCTC received statutory recognition through the Treaty Commission Act passed by the Legislature of British Columbia in April 1993 and through the BC Treaty Commission Act passed by the federal government in December 1995, both of which were proclaimed in force in March 1996. The First Nations Summit also passed a resolution in April 1993 to establish the BCTC.
