OBA Aboriginal Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: November 7, 2024

Implementing modern treaties and agreements is ongoing work for many organizations and all levels of government. With a focus on two key components, money and land, our panelists will share valuable insights on the latest decisions that impact this process, and common implementation issues such as:

• Multi-generational trusts and distributions of funds
• Charter and procedural issues in defining classes of beneficiaries
• Entitlements of minors
• Taxation considerations
• Indigenous Services Canada processes and policy reviews

Whether you are an early career or experienced lawyer, if you or your clients interact with Indigenous groups, you don’t want to miss this essential program to ensure you are well-equipped to best advise your clients.
