BC Capacity Initiative Council records

  • GR-3553
  • Series
  • 2002, 2006

The series consists of committee records created by the BC Capacity Initiative (BCCI) Council in 2002 and 2006. The BCCI is a federal government initiative that is funded by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada. The objective of the BCCI is to support First Nations in their preparation for comprehensive land claim negotiations by enhancing their capabilities to negotiate, implement, or manage land and resource components of future aboriginal title settlement agreements. Funding is available to all BC First Nations with an unresolved land claim, which includes First Nations within and outside of the BC Treaty Commission process. Project sectors eligible for funding are: community vision/strategic plan; cultural heritage; fisheries/aquaculture resources; forestry resources; integrated land and resources; land and resources governance; and land and resources professional development.

The records consist primarily of proposal evaluation summaries of funding applications for the purposes of review by the BCCI council at an annual meeting. Each proposal evaluation summary consists of a project summary of the application and the reviewer’s evaluation. Additionally, each volume contains statistics on the total applicants, including the geographical distribution of applicants, applicants by project sector, and comparative historical data. Because funding reviews are conducted at an annual council meeting, the meeting agenda is also included.

The records are contained in two volumes (volume 7 and volume 13) and date from 2002 and 2006 respectively. Indices are available in each file by applicant name and reference file number, as well as by page order.

Volume 7 (2002) contains summaries of 130 proposals for review for 2002-2003 as well as a listing of ineligible applications. The council meeting was held on April 8 and 9, 2002.

Volume 13 (2006) contains summaries of 117 proposals (with an additional 18 that were not eligible) for review for 2006-2007. The council meeting was held on February 9 and 10, 2006. Volume 13 also contains digital copies of some of these records on a compact disc. The digital records available on this disc are: Index by applicant names; Index by file no.; Executive summaries of 2006-2007 BC Capacity Initiative Regional Proposals (by applicant names); and Executive summaries of 2006-2007 BC Capacity Initiative Single Proposals (by applicant names). The disc is stored in 002383-0001 File 2 with the textual records.

The records correspond to Administrative Records Classification System 200-20: committee files.
