Land Management
The draft of the Swan Lake First Nation Land Management Code is completed. The Band Members will be asked to vote on this document and the Individual Agreement between Canada and Swan Lake First Nation. Although Land and Resources Management is complex, the vote really comes down to one simple question: do you want Swan Lake to manage its own lands under the Land Code?
