Island Timberlands Added to Toquaht Lands

Summary#

This notice from the Department of Crown‑Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs updates the Maa‑nulth First Nations Final Agreement to add five land parcels (collectively called the Island Timberlands) to the Maa‑nulth First Nation Lands of Toquaht Nation. The parcels (listed by PID) are recorded as having become Toquaht Nation lands on September 14, 2021, and the agreement’s Appendix maps (including Plans 4, 7 and 9) are amended to show them.

What it does#

• Adds these parcels to Toquaht Nation lands:
  • PID: 000-913-871
  • PID: 009-389-873
  • PID: 008-947-147
  • PID: 008-947-163
  • PID: 008-947-201
• States that the parcels collectively are referred to as the Island Timberlands.
• Amends the maps and listing in Appendix B-3, Part 2 and Appendix B-3, Part 2(a) (notably Plans 4, 7 and 9) of the Maa‑nulth First Nations Final Agreement to reflect the additions.
• Notes the lands became Maa‑nulth First Nation lands under paragraph 2.10.25 of the Final Agreement on September 14, 2021.
• Includes map images and text descriptions, and makes clear those maps are for illustration only and are not to be used as legal boundary descriptions.

Who's affected#

• Toquaht Nation and the other Maa‑nulth First Nations signatories to the Final Agreement — because the parcels are now part of Toquaht Nation lands.
• Local communities and users around the area northeast of Ucluelet and Toquaht Bay (including visitors to nearby protected areas such as Pacific Rim National Park Reserve) — people in this area may notice changes in who manages or makes decisions about the parcels.
• Provincial and federal land managers, local governments, and any private parties with interests in those specific parcels — they may need to update records or consult the Toquaht Nation when planning activities on or near the lands.
• If it is unclear whether you are directly affected (for example, if you use or hold rights on nearby land), this notice does not replace legal land titles or detailed legal maps; check official land records or contact the Toquaht Nation or the department named in the notice.

Why it matters#

• This is a formal recognition in the Final Agreement’s records that the listed parcels belong to the Toquaht Nation as of September 14, 2021. That can change who makes decisions about land use, access, and management on those parcels.
• The amended appendices update public maps and the agreement’s documentation, which matters for planning, development, and any consultations in the area.
• The notice makes clear the included maps are illustrative only; for legal boundary questions or transactions you would need the official legal descriptions or to contact the parties involved.
