What is the role of the Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee?
The Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee (LMTAC) coordinates and represents the interests of Local Governments and their constituents in Lower Mainland area treaty negotiations. LMTAC also provides resoucing and advisory services to area Local Governments that may not have the in house capacity to deal with complex treaty and Aboriginal issues. As the central information base for the region, LMTAC receives hundreds of inquiries annually from residents, community groups, media and educational institutions and private sector organizations. There are 17 Treaty Advisory Committees (TACs) in British Columbia. The Lower Mainland TAC is the largest, comprising a total of 23 municipal and 3 regional governments, and representing a largely urban population of over 2 million persons.
