British Columbia picks new head of treaty commission
VICTORIA — The provincial government has picked a lawyer known for her work with the Musqueam First Nation to head the B.C. Treaty Commission.
The provincial cabinet picked Celeste Haldane on Feb. 22, but the federal government must still approve the appointment.
The chief commissioner’s position has been open for more than a year, and Haldane is currently the province’s acting chief commissioner.
It is expected she will hold the chief commissioner’s post for a three-year term.
