Opaskwayak Cree Nation [Streets and lanes claim] – February 2007

In October 2002, the Commission accepted the request of the First Nation to conduct an inquiry into its rejected claim, which alleged that band funds were misused to improve certain lands, and that land sale practices led to the wrongful alienation of streets and lanes. Planning conferences were held in 2002 and 2003, and the parties agreed that additional research was required. Canada’s supplementary reports were submitted to the Commission in August 2003 and May 2004.

Following its review of these reports, the First Nation expressed its satisfaction that all outstanding issues respecting this claim have been addressed and informed the Commission in late 2004 that it no longer wished to proceed with the inquiry. This inquiry was closed by a formal order and an inquiry report was issued in April 2007.
