We,
the resource department, on behalf of the Heiltsuk people will assist
in managing all our territory with respect and reverence for the life it
sustains, using knowledge of the Marine and Land resources as passed
down to us for generations. We
will work toward rebuilding and maintaining a healthy and functioning
environment while meeting our social and economic needs for generations
to come.
We
will work in collaboration with all Heiltsuk departments and citizens
toward the preservation, conservation and enhancement of integrated
resources within Heiltsuk Territory. We
will also foster efficient and respectful working relationships with
external governments, including First Nations and other interest groups.
Mission
The
Heiltsuk Integrated Resource Management Department will be responsible
for protecting, planning and managing how the lands, seas and their
resources will be used now and into the future.
We will seek to enact the Heiltsuk laws, customs, traditions, policies and practices in carrying out our mandate.
