Stakeholder participation is critical to the success of the PNCIMA planning process. To achieve effective participation numerous options are available.

Stakeholders can determine which mechanisms are the most appropriate means of participation for them, recognizing that participation in one mechanism does not preclude participation in another. Stakeholders may choose to participate to varying degrees at different points in the planning process, given that some mechanisms entail significantly more time, responsibility, and commitment than others. 

Throughout 2009 and 2010, an Engagement Strategy was developed for the PNCIMA initiative.  This document has been strongly shaped by discussions with diverse interest groups, including First Nations, user groups, environmental groups, coastal communities, and federal, provincial and local governments.
