Observers anticipate lengthy legal process after B.C. Aboriginal land title decision
October 27, 2025
A B.C. Supreme Court ruling that for the first time recognized Aboriginal title over privately owned land has raised new questions about how the two can co-exist, with observers anticipating a lengthy legal process that could reach Canada’s highest court.
Justice Barbara Young’s decision in the land claim ruling, handed down in August, said that the Cowichan Tribes have established Aboriginal title, a type of ownership right rooted in ancestral usage of a piece of land, to roughly 800 acres in southeast Richmond, B.C., on the Fraser River, as well as an Aboriginal right to fish for food.

The Alberta government is invoking the Charter’s notwithstanding clause in back-to-work legislation that will force public school teachers to return to class after a three-week strike, a move that organized labour leaders said could cause an “unprecedented response” by unions across the province. If passed, the bill would use the notwithstanding clause, which allows governments to shield legislation from Charter challenges in court, to override Alberta teachers’ Charter right to strike or bargain collectively.
