WINTER 2024 TUMUHW ENGAGEMENT

January 15, 2024

Tumuhw Code Winter 2024 Engagement

The Penelakut Lands and Resources Department is inviting Members to various engagement events in January 2024. The focus of these engagements will be to gain insights on community concerns and values to develop new land laws under the Tumuhw Code.

While progress has been made in policy development of the Tumuhw Code, we are interested in hearing the diverse experiences and voices of community members to begin to plan, shape and implement laws under the Tumuhw Code!

Through our land code, we are able to create laws for our reserve lands regarding:

  • Land use, zoning and development
  • Allotments, interests and licences
  • Environmental assessment and protection
  • Natural resource management
  • Trespass, enforcement and ticketing
  • Residential tenancy
  • Business permitting and licensing

 

We want to hear from you about which laws we should prioritize.
