Douglas R. Eyford, KC

Douglas R. Eyford brings a wealth of expertise in civil litigation and offers strategic legal and business counsel to First Nations, the Crown, and industry players involved in transportation infrastructure and resource development projects. As a former chief negotiator for the Government of Canada in the BC Treaty process (2007–2014), Doug has been instrumental in cultivating partnerships between Aboriginal communities and the energy sector.

In 2013, Doug’s expertise was pivotal when the Government of Canada sought his advice on enhancing Aboriginal participation in oil and natural gas pipeline projects across Alberta and British Columbia. His insightful report to the Prime Minister, “Forging Partnerships, Building Relationships: Aboriginal Canadians and Energy Development,” provided foundational strategies for fostering trust and inclusion in the energy economy.

The Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development leveraged Doug’s expertise in 2014, appointing him to spearhead engagement efforts with Aboriginal groups and stakeholders, aiming to reform comprehensive land claims policy. His report, “A New Direction: Advancing Aboriginal and Treaty Rights,” continues to influence policy discussions.

Doug remains a leading voice in Aboriginal law, regularly writing, speaking, and sharing his profound insights to drive constructive dialogues between the Crown, industry, and Indigenous groups, paving forward to a better future.
