The structure of provincial water law is substantially the same as its original form that assisted with the colonial settlement of BC. As the strengths of Indigenous legal relationships with water are revealed, and in this era of climate change, water law will need to fundamentally adapt to the operation of multiple legal orders and fluctuating hydrological conditions.
The purpose of this new course is to explore the fundamentals of provincial water law in the context of Indigenous water governance, as well as the tensions and the opportunities as new legal arrangements and processes emerge and the colonial constructs are challenged and forced to evolve.
Law Society of BC CPD Hours: 6 hours (this course will contain a minimum of 1 hour pertaining to professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)
