B.C. government opposes First Nations title claim around Ajax
KAMLOOPS — The province of British Columbia says it is not giving up the title to private property in and around Kamloops without a fight.
The provincial government announced today it will vigorously oppose the First Nations Aboriginal rights and title claim filed in September by the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn bands.
While the Tsilhqot’in decision in 2014 had wide-ranging impacts on aboriginal title and rights in Canada, Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone says that did not involve private property.
