OBA Aboriginal Law & Environmental Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: June 6, 2023

As First Nations increasingly seek to exercise jurisdiction over their lands, the development and execution of legal frameworks, regulatory schemes and enforcement authorities can be complex and fraught with roadblocks.

Join our trailblazing faculty as they discuss lessons learned from the Henvey Inlet First Nation's experience with developing environmental law and management regimes, including:

• Conflicts of Interest: First Nations as Partner and Regulator
• Solving the penalties/prosecutions conundrum: Limits of Authority and Framework for Enforcement
• Takeaways for other First Nations: Expert Roundtable

Learn about the achievements, difficulties and creative solutions from those with first-hand knowledge and set your clients up for governance success.
