Leasing and Land Development Strategy for Chiniki First Nation
This project will create a clear legal framework for leasing homes and businesses on reserve, making it easier for community members to access housing, insurance, and investment opportunities. Additionally, Chiniki will partner with a commercial real estate consultant to design a development strategy along its highway-front lands, exploring options such as gas stations, retail businesses, and green energy projects.
Rooted in Indigenous values and governance, the project aims to build community capacity, attract responsible investment, and guide growth in a way that reflects Chiniki's long-term priorities.
