The Pacific Rim School District and the Tseshaht First Nation are pleased to announce the successful completion of the Craig Road property sale, following an extensive public consultation process and approval from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
In recognition of the importance of prioritizing the return of lands to Indigenous rightsholders, the school district sought ministerial approval to grant Tseshaht First Nation the right of first refusal to purchase the property, and to sell the property slightly below market value. Land is central to Indigenous identity, culture, and self-determination, so ensuring that surplus public land is made available to Indigenous peoples is an essential step in advancing true reconciliation.
