Vancouver Island Treaty Deal Deep Dive | Vancouver News
Description
A proposed 30-year-old treaty on Vancouver Island could hand over 20 square kilometers of public land—including iconic parks like Sooke Mountain and Hatley Castle—to five First Nations, sparking debate over public access and urban development. While officials assure continued public access and collaborative planning, critics worry about losing control over downtown Victoria’s future. The Royal Roads University campus, set to transfer to the Songhees Nation, adds complexity as negotiations explore potential sale options, balancing heritage, development, and community needs—all while a final deal remains years away.
