Angela Wesley Reappointed to BC Treaty Commission

0:00British Columbia just reappointed Indigenous leader Angela Wesley as their Commissioner to the V.C. Treaty Commission. She's from the Hool-I-OT First Nations and held the role before, from 2018 to 2025. Back then, she helped kick off three big treaties with the Kalmox, Kitselas, and Kitsum Column First Nations. She steps in after former cabinet minister George Abbott moved up to Chief Commissioner last month. The Commission handles treaty talks between First Nations, the Province, and the federal government, keeping things fair and moving forward. Wesley's experience brings continuity, especially with those recent treaty wins that set a strong example for reconciliation. Folks in Indigenous communities see her return as a solid move to build on that momentum. Abbott's got a three-year term as Chief Commissioner, while hers runs two years. The full team includes one chief and four commissioners, two picked by First Nations, two by governments. All this keeps the treaty process rolling smooth, showing real commitment to modern agreements
