T’Sou-ke Nation demonstrates environmental stewardship for our surrounding traditional territories through work on environmental monitoring, remediation, emergency response, and development of new laws and regulations under the 2006 Land Code.
The Lands department work closely with our neighbours in Sooke and the Capital Regional District (CRD) to inform our community about waste disposal and recycling as well as watering and burning restrictions.
Closer to home, the department holds regular Lands Committee meetings and uses the 2006 T’Sou-ke Land Code to guide it. Seasonal maintenance of the 93 houses at T’Sou-ke is coordinated from this department.
The Forestry and Environment department oversees environmental stewardship, monitoring, and remediation within our traditional lands. The department also manages our woodlot operation near Jordan River where an annual cut of 12,500 cubic meters of mainly fir, hemlock and cedar is harvested by our contractors.
