B.C. going door to door to hear residents’ concerns in Cowichan title area
British Columbia staff are engaging door-to-door with residents in the Cowichan title area to address concerns after the court ruled 45 private properties affected, officials said.
- The B.C. government is going door-to-door to hear residents' concerns and experiences in the Cowichan title area.
- The court ruling states that the Cowichan Tribes have Aboriginal title over the area, that Crown and city titles within it are defective and invalid, and that the granting of private titles by the government unjustifiably infringed on the Cowichan title.
- The province says it will take steps to ensure private property owners are protected, though the ruling establishes a precedent that Aboriginal title is not extinguished by provincial Crown grants of fee simple interest.
