B.C. pushes Heritage Act reform with First Nations amid concerns over development slowdowns

September 26, 2025

The B.C. NDP’s efforts to align the Heritage Conservation Act with its commitments to Indigenous peoples have been met with an outcry from municipal and business leaders who fear it will grind development to a halt.

The “transformation project” is the government’s second attempt in as many years to work jointly with First Nations to change land-use legislation. This is being done to meet the government’s binding commitment to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

It’s a scary time. The air is full of angry words. Hate crimes are on the rise. Now, many would say, is the time to bring in tougher laws against hate speech. The government certainly thinks so. New federal legislation would criminalize the display of certain hate symbols and make it easier to lay charges for spreading hate propaganda.
