Historic Williams Lake First Nations settlement agreement vote

Concluding more than 25 years of work and a trip to the Supreme Court of Canada, Williams Lake First Nation has just announced its members will soon vote on a historic settlement deal with the federal government. Chief and council last week voted unanimously to recommend accepting the deal. It has to do with Indigenous communities being displaced from what is now Williams Lake to where the reserve is today. Neetu Garcha has more on Ottawa’s proposed compensation.
