Tsay Keh Dene Nation Territory, British Columbia - Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada
The Government of Canada is providing over $11 million to the Tsay Keh Dene Nation to support key priorities identified by the Nation, including economic development, governance, community development, wellness and other socio-economic opportunities.
The funding announced today is part of a Grant Agreement that was signed on March 15, 2024, by Tsay Keh Dene Nation and the Government of Canada. By investing directly in the priorities set by the Nation, this agreement supports Tsay Keh Dene's path to self-governance and a future treaty.
This funding is already making a difference, helping Tsay Keh Dene Nation tackle urgent needs like housing, strengthening governance, and creating new economic opportunities. Together, Canada and Tsay Keh Dene Nation are taking concrete steps toward a renewed relationship based on respect, cooperation and partnership. As we take an incremental approach to achieving a comprehensive Treaty, this Grant Agreement is a step towards supporting longer-term goals of self-governance and self-reliance.
