FNLMAQL Training & Development

Pursuant to the Association’s objective “to provide continuing in-service education for First Nations Lands Managers,” we organize, facilitate, or sponsor trainings to encourage the professional development for our members.

In the past we have coordinated trainings such as:

• Introduction to Land Management;
• Environment Management and CEAA updates;
• ILRS training;
• Management on Indian Estates;
• Estate Administration, Matrimonial Real Property, Surveys, CPs and Oka letters;
• Proposed Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests of Rights Act (Bill S-2);
• Work Plan development;
• And more

The trainings we facilitate are based on the needs of our members. We aim to provide our trainings and documentation in English and in French.

Our trainings generally occur at the Association’s Membership meetings and Board of Directors meetings.

Professional Lands Management Certification Program (PLMCP)

As a Regional Lands Association, the FNLMAQL supports NALMA in its goal of training and certifying land managers in our region. NALMA states that:

In order to implement the Reserve Land and Environment Management Program (RLEMP), NALMA in collaboration with INAC and subject matter experts developed the Professional Lands Management Certification Program (PLMCP). NALMA’s PLMCP is used across Canada to signify that a Land Manager meets specific criteria, keeps current in the field, and adheres to a professional Code of Ethics. It represents both an achievement and a responsibility for the individual Land Manager.

A Land Manager successfully completing Level I: Post-Secondary Training and Level II: Technical Training will be eligible to receive a Professional Lands Management Certification certificate from NALMA.

NALMA is currently accepting registration from both Levels 1 and 2 in English, as well as its Level 1 program in French, with the Université du Québec à Témiscamingue.

Financing is currently available for both programs. For more information on accessing funding, please contact RLEMP (at) sac-isc.gc.ca.

For more information on the English program, please visit NALMA’s website.

For more information about the French Level 1 PLMCP, offered by UQAT, you can visit the website for more information on the micro-program and the certificate. For questions about the Program, please contact Francis Levesque here.

Technical Support

The Association aims to provide technical support in all areas of land management. It does so by relying on the expertise of its members and network, and staying current with applicable laws, procedures, technologies, and other tools. Members have access to many technical documents through the Peersite.

Any and all request for support is encouraged, the FNLMAQL team will gladly assist its members.
