Engagement opportunities
The Province is pursuing engagement with British Columbians on Mineral Tenure Act Reform.
Engagement paths include consultation and cooperation with First Nation rights holders and First Nations organizations, and engagement with interested groups including industry, associations, mineral tenure holders, environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs), local governments, and the public.
As the engagement process continues, we will continue to update this website with relevant materials and engagement opportunities.
