Phase 2 public engagement sessions were held during November 2012 in eight Columbia River Basin communities: Jaffray, Creston, Revelstoke, Golden, Valemount, Nelson, Trail, and Nakusp. The session in Trail was streamed live. Approximately 360 people attended the sessions. In addition, two meetings, in Cranbrook and Castlegar, were held with regional and municipal elected officials. During the sessions the Columbia River Treaty Review team asked for feedback from Columbia Basin residents about potential trade-offs between previously identified local interests and potential future Treaty scenarios. Below you will find handout material and presentations provided to attendees at the community sessions.
