Tla’amin Lands Addition: District Lot 4748

Summary#

This notice from the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs updates the Tla’amin Final Agreement to add a parcel of land — District Lot 4748, Group 1, New Westminster District (PID 015-837-815) — to Tla’amin Lands. The parcel is recorded as having become Tla’amin Lands on March 8, 2017, and the agreement’s appendix was amended to reflect that addition, effective May 19, 2022.

What it does#

• Confirms that District Lot 4748, Group 1, New Westminster District (PID 015-837-815) became part of Tla’amin Lands on March 8, 2017.
• Amends Appendix C of the Tla’amin Final Agreement by adding Appendix C-5: Additions to Tla’amin Lands After the Effective Date, effective May 19, 2022.
• Provides a legal description for the parcel and a map (Figure 1) showing its location north of the municipality of Powell River and east of the Strait of Georgia.
• Notes the map is for illustration only and is not to be used to define the legal boundaries of Tla’amin Lands.

Who's affected#

• Tla’amin Nation — the change adds this parcel to lands governed under the Final Agreement.
• People and businesses near Powell River, B.C., who may notice changes in land status or management.
• Nearby landowners, local governments, and the British Columbia Land Title Office, which records the parcel identifier (PID 015-837-815).
• Anyone using the map should be cautious — the notice says the map is illustrative and not a legal boundary map.

Why it matters#

• Adding this parcel to Tla’amin Lands changes which laws, rules, or authorities apply on that land under the Final Agreement.
• That can affect land use decisions, local planning, and who manages services or permits on the parcel.
• The illustrative map helps people see where the land is, but it cannot replace official legal descriptions if you need exact boundaries or rights.
