Agreement-in-Principle Relating to Tenure Between Tsuu T'ina Nation and Alberta

An agreement-in-principle related to land tenure was signed April 30, 2004 between the Province of Alberta and the Tsuu T'ina First Nation.  It facilitates the transfer of lands to the Province for the future construction of the Southwest Ring Road.

The agreement commits the Province and the Nation to use Section 35 of the Indian Act to transfer title of the lands required for a controlled access freeway and utility corridor.  The freeway will eventually connect Highway 22X and Glenmore Trail, forming the southwest portion of the Calgary ring road.
