First Nation Governance and the Authority Having Jurisdiction - December 10, 2025 (past)

Councils are the Authority of Jurisdiction (AHJ) and as the governance bodies for their communities, they are responsible to ensure building codes and standards are established for their communities.

The conference is a follow up to the first AHJ held in Moncton in 2024. Given the interests in this topic, FNNBOA decided to hold a one-day event open to all First Nations.
