Input Leads to Action
Input gathered throughout the engagement process is being analysed and compiled into a “What we Heard” Report by a third-party contractor. This report will be made available to the public by the end of September 2021.
This what we heard report, along with the recommendations report from the South Peace Snowmobile Advisory Committee, a socio economic impact analysis, and consultation record, will inform a final set of recommendations to the Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operation and Rural Development.
It is anticipated that decisions on the management of winter motorized recreation in the South Peace will be made in the fall of 2021, ahead of the winter season.
