Supply Area will remain grounded in community engagement, ensuring that local voices and lived experiences inform the direction of the plan. Together, we are building a path forward that honors Indigenous leadership, strengthens forest stewardship, and supports resilient communities and ecosystems for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Previous engagement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The project sought feedback in fall 2025 from community and organization interest in the FLP process. The project is now moving to the next phase of engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026 engagement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite the public to share their perspectives and values related to forests in the Cranbrook Timber Supply Area. Public input will help inform the planning team how people use the local forests, how the full range of interconnected forest values should inform planning, and which issues or concerns should guide future decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project team will have farmers&#8217; market booths setup at the following location and times to gather feedback in person:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>July 23:<\/strong>\u00a05 to 7:30 pm, Kimberley Farmers&#8217; Market, Howard St. and Downtown Platzl, Kimberley<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>July 25:<\/strong>\u00a010 am to 1pm, Cranbrook Farmers\u2019 Market, 117 10 Ave S, Cranbrook<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>July 26:<\/strong>\u00a010 am to 2 pm, Fernie Farmers&#8217; Market, Rotary Park, 6th A Ave, Fernie<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>August 6:<\/strong>\u00a05 to 7:30 pm, Kimberley Farmers&#8217; Market, Howard St. and Downtown Platzl, Kimberley<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>August 8:<\/strong> 10 am to 1pm, Cranbrook Farmers\u2019 Market, 117 10 Ave S, Cranbrook<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>August 28:<\/strong>\u00a03:30 to 6:30 pm, Sparwood Farmers\u2019 Market, Titan Park, 141 A Aspen Dr, Sparwood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/planninginpartnership.ca\/p\/6882bff743fb68002119e415\/project-details\" title=\"\">project page<\/a> to learn more and take the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contribution\">How your contribution makes a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cranbrook Forest Landscape Plan is in Phase 2 of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/planninginpartnership.ca\/flp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5-phase process for developing a FLP<\/a>.
