promote discussion about specific topics. For example, the Planning Office held a 1.5 day workshop in Prince Rupert in February 2010. Participants from industry, academia, communities, First Nations, and government reviewed pilot work on a report discussing the socio-economic and cultural features within PNCIMA. Participants identified relevant data sources, described socio-economic trends in marine activities and their communities, critiqued draft sections of the report, and helped draft plans and content for other sections of the report.

Who can participate:

Participants will typically be invited based on their interest, experience, and expertise in the topic.

Role:

To share information, help in direction-setting, and/or provide advice on problem solving on selected topics.
Input from workshops can inform or help scope the work of Working Groups and the IOAC.

Frequency:

Workshops will be held on an as-needed basic. Workshops will likely be 1 to 3 day in-person meetings emphasizing interaction among attendees.
