VALEMOUNT, B.C. — The Simpcw First Nation is growing, as part of a deal with the province around a new resort area near Valemount.
Forests, Lands, Natural Resorce Operations and Rural Development Minister Doug Donaldson announced today the province is transferring 185 hectares of Crown land to Simpcw.
A master plan for the Valemount Glacier Destination resort was approved in 2016, and a Master Development Agreement followed in 2017.
That agreement has made accommodation for revenue sharing and land transfer with the Simpcw First Nation.
