Since the announcement of the BC Timber Sales review on January 15, significant strides have been made in planning, developing engagement processes, and establishing project teams and governance structures. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and transparent review process, and we’re excited to share our progress so far.

Key Milestones:

  • Internal Working Group Meetings: Our Internal Working Group met with the Task Force to discuss the foundational processes for engagement and policy development
  • Policy Exploration: Initial exploratory research and ideation on potential policy ideas have commenced, laying the groundwork for the next phase of the review
