How does Tsawwassen First Nation benefit from the Final Agreement?
The Final Agreement provides Tsawwassen First Nation with land, resources, self-government and other rights. These authorities and resources enable the First Nation to take control over its affairs, build a sustainable economy, create jobs for its members, and enhance living standards for all members. As part of its due diligence, Tsawwassen First Nation conducted an economic analysis of treaty benefits. All these factors were considered in the Tsawwassen community ratification process, which resulted in a 130 to 50 vote in favour of the treaty.
