The objective of the First Nations Tax Commission (FNTC) Education program is to promote an understanding of the real property taxation systems of First Nations in Canada, develop training programs for First Nation real property tax administrators, and to build capacity in First Nations to administer their taxation system. The FNTC has developed a partnership with the Tulo Centre of Indigenous Economics (TULO) and Thompson Rivers University (TRU) to provide students with an accredited education program that results in an understanding of how to provide administrative and legal certainty as well as quality infrastructure to facilitate investment on First Nations lands.
The FNTC has developed a student bursary program to provide financial support to property tax administrators working in First Nations in Canada to attend courses in property tax administration and First Nation economics.
