Stz’uminus First Nation due to take over leases at the end of the year
The Stz’uminus First Nation and its economic development arm, Coast Salish Group, hope to take over water leases in Ladysmith Harbour on Dec. 31 in what they see as the first step toward a mini Granville Island-style development.
Stz’uminus First Nation Chief John Elliott said that this will be “a coming home” after land was taken when First Nations were moved to reserves.“This is a significant milestone in the long journey of reconciliation for the Stz’uminus people,” Elliott said. Ladysmith Mayor Aaron Stone said the town, which holds land upland from the harbour, and nation have “shared priorities.”
Everyone benefits from remediation, Gauthier said. “We want to be seen corporately as good stewards.” At year’s end, the nation plans to take on and operate the existing community marina located on the water lots. But in November 2022, after the reconciliation agreement was signed, the town gave the society notice to move out in December this year.
