From the APB Press Room

APB provides feedback on the proposed Professional Governance Act.

See APB Letter on proposed Professional Governance Act sent to Mr. George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.

APB responds to the BC Public Engagement Process on Wildlife Management and Habitat Conservation.

After consulting with members, the APB provided feedback on the Public Engagement process on Wildlife Management and Habitat Conservation.  This provincial engagement process is the first step in a four-phase process that is intended to lead toward implementation of a new wildlife and habitat management strategy.  Questions asked to APB members focused on soliciting feedback on the 8 challenges defined in the Public Engagement on Wildlife and Habitat.
See results from member's survey  and the APB response letter on Wildlife Management and Habitat Conservation.

APB responds to the BC Public Engagement Process on the Proposed Environmental Assessment (EA) Revitalization.

The EA Advisory Committee’s thoughtful and comprehensive recommendations provide an excellent starting point for discussion of EA Revitalization. In principle, the suggested approaches are moving in the right direction to improve clarity and transparency in EA reviews while advancing mandated reconciliation and public interest objectives.
