Description

On May 16, 2005, the Government of Alberta (Alberta) adopted the Government of Alberta's First Nations Consultation Policy on Land Management and Resource Development (Policy). In the Policy, Alberta makes the commitment to consult with First Nations where land management and resource development have the potential to adversely impact First Nations rights and traditional uses of Crown lands (Rights and Traditional Uses). In the Policy, Alberta committed to creating consultation guidelines (Guidelines) to fulfill its duty to consult, to offer procedures for consultation, and to ensure a practical and efficient consultation process.

The Guidelines, now outlined within this document, are intended to guide all parties involved in consultation, as they are consistent with the current state of the law on consultation.
