Supreme Court ruling “could negatively affect title” to their property.The letter, signed by Mayor Malcolm Brodie, says that the Cowichan Tribes v Canada land claim ruling, handed down in August, “may compromise the status and validity of your ownership.” The letter invites recipients to an information session to be held on Oct. 28, at Richmond City Hall.
