In June 2018, the Province of British Columbia held a series of nine community meetings in the Canadian Columbia River Basin to seek residents\u2019 input on modernization of the Columbia River Treaty (Treaty). The timing of the meetings coincided with the beginning of Treaty negotiations between Canada and the United States. The purpose of these meetings was to provide an update on negotiations, and seek Basin residents’ input on what key issues should be considered during these negotiations.<\/p>\n

During the June meetings, there were requests to hold a session for communities near the headwaters of the Columbia River. The Province held an additional meeting in Invermere in December 2018.<\/p>\n

The input received from all 10 meetings is summarized in the Columbia River Treaty 2018 Community Meetings Summary Report. To download or view the report, click the link below.<\/p>\n
