Land Use Planning Phase III

Module # 1: June 8-10th, Osoyoos, BC 

Module # 2: October 5-7th, Haida Gwaii, BC 

Module # 3: December 19-21st, Vancouver, BC 

Module # 4: February 1-3rd, Chase, BC 

Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) is pleased to announce that it will offer a ‘Phase 3’ LUP Training series based on positive feedback from community participants in Phase 2.

 

In total, participants from 107 First Nations have participated in Phase 1 and or 2 LUP Training to date.

 

We are targeting 20 individuals from First Nations who are about to begin their LUP process, or are in the early stage of carrying out a LUP process to complete a LUP plan. Participants need to commit to all four modules, as they build on each other and are supportive of carrying out a complete LUP cycle.

 

The following four Learning Modules are being offered:

 

• Community engagement, communication and facilitation;

• Legal environment of land use planning; working with external consultants; and

• Information management, data gathering, analysis and planning documentation;

• Implementation, monitoring and evaluation of LUP.

 

These four Learning Modules will be delivered once each, in four different locations from June to February 2017.  The Learning Module length is 2.5 days with a full day agenda for the first two days, ending with a half day agenda on day three.

 

Modules are scheduled as follows:

 

Module # 1: June 8-10th, Osoyoos, BC at Spirit Ridge Vineyard and Spa.

 

Module # 2: October 5-7th, Haida Gwaii (venue to be announced)

 

Module # 3: December 19-21st, Vancouver, BC (venue to be announced)

 

Module # 4: February 1-3rd, Chase, BC (venue to be announced)

 

The Learning Modules are highly interactive, tool-based and emphasize a learning by doing approach. Participants will learn a variety of planning methods and tools, engage in practice exercises, and present learning and stories to one another.

Learning Outcomes

The four Learning Modules will result in the following anticipated outcomes for participants:

 

• Increased capacity to design and deliver community-driven LUP processes (including implementation and monitoring and evaluation);

• Expanded understanding of process leadership and engagement methods;

• Improved confidence with an expanded tool kit and resources to utilize in community;

• Access to an Indigenous relationship network and support system for LUP; and

• Increased awareness of the legal environment, history and implications for land use governance and planning.
