Our Mission & Vision
The First Nation Lands Managers Association for Quebec and Labrador is a bilingual, non–profit, non–political organization whose mission is to unite and assist all of its members and Indigenous communities to exchange knowledge, ideas and expertise in all areas of Land Management while incorporating our traditional values, beliefs and practices.
Our goal is to help empower Indigenous communities in Quebec and Labrador in autonomously managing their land.
The overall goals of the FNLMAQL are shared with the National Aboriginal Lands Managers Association (NALMA) and aim to unite First Nations Lands Managers through a provincial association.
Read more about our goals in our 2021-2026 Strategic Plan. Our Strategic Planning and yearly goals are created alongside our members.
