Sub-regional Advisory Forums

Local perspectives and knowledge are key to the PNCIMA planning process. This sentiment has been strongly expressed in many coastal communities throughout PNCIMA. In order to provide broader and recurring opportunities for localized input on key PMCIMA issues and topics throughout the planning process, Sub-regional Advisory Forums will be held every 6 – 12 months in each of four regions of PNCIMA: Haida Gwaii, the north coast, the central coast, and northern Vancouver Island.

Who can participate:

Sub-regional Advisory Forums will be open to all interested parties.

Role:

To enable discussions and input at a more local scale about issues of particular local interest, and to bring
local knowledge forward to inform the planning process. Sub-regional Advisory Forums will help the PNCIMA Planning Office and Steering Committee report out on the progress of the PNCIMA initiative and solicit feedback. This will also provide an opportunity for local communities to share their perspectives, interests, and knowledge directly with the Planning Office and Steering Committee. The Planning Office will relay input from Forums to Working Groups and the IOAC to inform their work and advice.
