The province says Discovery Island Marine Park and Sooke Mountain Park are being considered as part of land packages to the Songhees Nation and T’Sou-ke Nation respectively. The public can learn more about the proposed treaties at a series of open houses this spring.
As part of treaty negotiations, the Songhees hopes to receive several province-owned lots in Victoria’s downtown, and the city has promised to work with the nation on whatever they decide to do with the land.
