100 Mile House District staff actively solicited public input on the Timber Supply Review in the 100 Mile House Timber Supply Area through the following actions:
• direct mail-out of the Timber Supply Analysis Report and the Public Discussion Paper to 40 individuals, businesses and First Nations, with an offer to conduct information sessions if requested. The Public Discussion Paper included a response form that readers were encouraged to complete and return to the district manager.
• one information session was held with representatives from a timber company (see Table 1)
• four extensively advertised open houses were held
As Table 1 shows, 16 people attended the information session and the open houses. The Forest District also received nine written submissions (see Appendix 1). The Cariboo Lumber Manufacturers Association, on behalf of the 100 Mile House Timber Supply Area Licensee Association, commissioned a consultant to technically critique the 100 Mile House Timber Supply Analysis Report and Addendum (referred to as the ‘technical critique’ in this report).
