The Lands and Resource Department was opened in winter of 2011 to assist in the promotion and protection of Thessalon First Nation's lands and resources. The department promotes economic self-sufficiency in accordance to the First Nation's aspirations based on the social and cultural needs of the community within the Reserve boundary, the Robinson Huron Treaty area, and the Traditional Territory Duty to Consult.


The Lands Department provides advice and support to the leadership, various departments and the general membership as it pertains to the following:

  • land use planning

  • environmental protection and assessments 

  • hunting and fishing rights

  • commercial fishing rights

  • monitoring fishing licenses 

  • aboriginal fishing rights​


The lands and economic development department works in conjunction with other service providers to offer comprehensive services ensuring that the duty to consult process is followed.
