Results-Based Code Consultation Reports - For Historical Reference

With the release of the discussion paper A Results-Based Forest and Range Practices Regime for British Columbia, the Government of British Columbia established a three-part public consultation process. The public comment period ran from May 1 to June 30, 2002. The consultation process involved:

• An MLA committee chaired by North Island MLA Rod Visser heard more than 250 oral presentations during public meetings in 13 communities around the province.

• A technical process led by Dr. George Hoberg, head of the Department of Forest Resources Management at UBC, met with 58 groups and individuals and received 133 written submissions.

• A web-based public comment forum, managed by Professor Hoberg. The forum attracted 170 users and posted 272 entries. The Web site itself recorded more than 88,000 hits.

Dr. Hoberg and MLA Visser presented their consultation reports on July 25, 2002.
