Land Claims

Land Title Questions: What We’ve Asked the Village to Clarify

There’s been growing public interest about whether any land-title claims or jurisdiction discussions involve Harrison Hot Springs. Rather than let rumours spread, we’ve asked the Village for straight answers.

These are simple, no-cost, factual questions that the Village can answer without FOIs, lawyers, or delays

What We Asked Council and Staff

We have formally requested that the Village confirm:

1. Whether they have received any notice from the Province, FVRD, or any First Nation regarding land-title reviews or potential claims.

2. Whether staff or Council have had any briefings, meetings, or communications on land status, co-management, or jurisdictional matters affecting Harrison.

3. Whether any Village-owned land is part of discussions or review processes.

4. If any communication exists, that the Village provide a public summary so residents aren’t left guessing.

5. If no such communication exists, to confirm that clearly so people can stop speculating.

Why This Matters

Land-title questions can create unnecessary fear when information is unclear.

A straightforward public answer from the Village prevents rumours, builds trust, and keeps the community grounded in facts.

What This Isn’t

This is not an accusation, not an FOI request, and not a political statement.

It’s simply a request for clarity — something every resident is entitled to.

Our Goal

Respect, transparency, and calm discussion.

We’ll post updates here as soon as the Village provides a response.
