Highway 18 is a short, 42 km (26 mi) long main vehicle route
in the Cowichan Valley Regional District on Vancouver Island
, connecting the city of Duncan on the
Trans-Canada Highway with the community of Youbou, on
the north shore of Lake Cowichan. The highway first opened
to vehicle traffic in 1953, and was re-routed to a straighter
and wider alignment in 1970. An 80 km/h (50 mph)
construction speed limit is in effect for the majority of the
route because of problems on the highway. No passing is
allowed there.
In Late 2006, drivers using Highway 18 experienced broken
parts (such as windows with big shatter marks) on their cars,
most of these came from loose rocks after passing other
drivers. This has generated anger, and is called the "
Sealcoat Job" because of the bad gravel seal coating of the
stretch to Duncan from the Cowichan Lake Road junction at
Lake Cowichan by the new highway contractor company.
In early 2004, a proposal was brought forward to extend
Highway 18 west from Youbou, all the way along existing
"logging roads to the community of Port Renfrew on the
southwest coast of Vancouver Island, as a way of rerouting
traffic from the northern part of the Island to Victoria in case
of a bad accident or any other extraordinary event forcing a
closure of the Malahat, a steep section of the
Trans-Canada Highway just north of Victoria.

The Indian Act The Indian Act ("An Act respecting Indians"), R.S.,
1951, c. I-5, is a Canadian statute that concerns registered
Indians, their bands, and the system of Indian reserves. The
Indian Act was enacted in 1876 by the Parliament of Canada
under the provisions of Section 91(24) of the Constitution Act,
1867, which provides Canada's federal government exclusive
authority to legislate in relation to "Indians and Lands Reserved
for Indians". The Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern
Development, which is responsible for the act, is administered by
the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
The act defines who is an "Indian" and contains certain legal
rights and legal disabilities for registered Indians. The rights
exclusive to Indians in the Indian Act are beyond legal challenge
under the Constitution Act, 1982. Section 25 of the Constitution
Act, 1982 provides that the Canadian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms shall not be interpreted as negating aboriginal, treaty
or other rights of Canada's aboriginal peoples.
Status
Though people accepted into band membership under band rules
may not be status Indians, C-31 clarified that various sections of
the Indian Act would apply to such members

Métis

The Indian Act gives the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs the right to "determine whether any purpose
for which lands in a reserve are used is for the use and benefit of the band." Title to land within
the reserve may only be transferred to the band or to individual band members. Reserve lands
may not be seized legally, nor is the personal property of a band or a band member living on a
reserve subject to "charge, pledge, mortgage, attachment, levy, seizure distress or execution in
favour or at the instance of any person other than an Indian or a band" (section 89 (1) of the
Indian Act). While the act was intended to protect the Indian holdings, the limitations make it
difficult for the reserves and their residents to obtain financing for development and construction,
or renovation. To answer this need, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has
created an on-reserve housing loan program. Members of bands may enter into a trust agreement
with CMHC, and lenders can receive loans to build or repair houses. In other programs, loans to
residents of reserves are guaranteed by the federal government.

Due to treaty settlements, some Indian Reserves are now incorporated as Villages, such as New Aiyansh,
British Columbia, which like other Nisga'a reserves was relieved of that status by the Nisga'a Treaty.
Similarly, the Indian Reserves of the Sechelt Indian Band are now Indian Government Districts.

The Indian Act
Provinces and municipalities may expropriate reserve land only if specifically authorized by a
provincial or federal law. Few reserves have any economic advantages, such as resource revenues.
The revenues of those reserves which do, are held in trust by the Minister of Indian Affairs. Reserve
lands and the personal property of bands and resident band members are exempt from all forms of
taxation except local taxation.
Corporations owned by members of First Nations are not exempt, however. This exemption has allowed
band members operating in proprietorships or partnerships to sell heavily taxed goods, such as
cigarettes, on their reserves at prices considerably lower than those at stores off the reserves. Most
reserves are self-governed, within the limits already described, under guidelines established by the Indian
Act.
