Provincial total formal enforcement decisions

This table shows the frequency of formal enforcement decisions made to address contraventions.

Note: there is no direct correlation between the number of contraventions and the number of decisions made. For example, one incident of unauthorized harvesting may result in a stopwork order and a remediation order; the forfeiture of the timber involved; and the levying of a monetary penalty. Other incidents involving numerous contraventions may be dealt with by levying a single monetary penalty.

Summary of monetary penalties

This table shows the number and range of monetary penalties that have been levied under the Code.

The province is divided into six administrative units called forest regions, each of which is further sub-divided into five to nine forest districts. The first table lists, by forest region, the number of scheduled inspections conducted in harvesting, range and road related activities which were recorded in the ministry databases. The second table shows, the number of Code contraventions in each region which have resulted in formal enforcement decisions. The third table shows, by region, the numbers of formal enforcement decisions made on contraventions. As previously mentioned, there is not a one-to-one relationship between the numbers of contraventions determined and the numbers of formal decisions made. Note: both the second and third tables relate to decisions that may be subject to review and appeal. Therefore, the numbers shown may change over time to reflect the outcome of the review and appeal process.
