Originally called the Sliammon Development Corporation, the SDC was established in 1995 to oversee economic development opportunities for the Tla’amin Nation. After the effective date and implementation of the Tla’amin Treaty SDC was reorganized with Tla’amin Management Services LP taking over the business arm of the Tla’amin Nation. The Tla’amin Nation has expanded into many business arenas including: land development, forestry, aquaculture, retail, hospitality and tourism. You can find more information in our Business Portfolio.
The implementation of the Treaty will create many economic opportunities for the Tla’amin people and business partnerships interested in helping us develop our lands. The benefits will come through employment opportunities for members and revenue streams for our government that will be reinvested in further development and infrastructure.
Additionally, the Tla’amin Nation has also engaged in protocol agreements, joint planning, and other initiatives with neighboring jurisdictions in order to strengthen relationships and allow for cooperation and collaboration on projects and initiatives aimed at bolstering economic growth within the region.
