Engagement summary
The Province has received an Expression of Interest for a proposed all-seasons resort referred to as the South Anderson Mountain Resort. The resort is proposed by Spuzzum First Nation and is in the South Anderson Valley northwest of the Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area.
An Expression of Interest is the first step in a multi-stage process under the All-Seasons Resort Policy. This stage is conceptual with the goal of assessing project feasibility. More detailed information about the project is developed if it advances to the next stages. If successful, the proponent will be invited to move forward in the review process and submit a Formal Proposal. Additional public engagement would occur at that time.
