Engagement summary
Phase 1
Engagement is an important part of the shíshálh-B.C. land use planning approach. It will occur at key plan development phases to ensure local interests and priorities are identified and included in the process.
Between November 2020 and February 2021, the shíshálh-B.C. Land Use Planning Table hosted engagement activities to identify interests, concerns, and opportunities related to the land use planning process. This included focused workshops and a public questionnaire.

Phase 2
