Desmond Peters, Additions-to-Reserve Policy

Send us a text

In our continuing series on Canada's broken Additions-to-Reserve (ATR) policy, we speak with Desmond Peters, Lands Manager at Ts'kw'aylaxw First Nation in British Columbia.

The path to reclaiming land governance isn't easy, but Peters believes the process can be improved to better positions First Nations for success. Reform is drastically needed so Nations can expand their land bases – for reasons that are unique to each community.

As a former Chief and Band Councillor, he brings a much-respected voice to our continuing discussions on fixing Additions-to-Reserve.
