Time: 1:00 pm
Staff from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Southeast Regional Office (Cranbrook) and Land Use Coordination Branch (Victoria) will be meeting with interested members of the East Kootenay Chamber of Mines for an information exchange. The initial meeting will consist of two sessions:
1) Exploration permitting and 2) Mountain Caribou Management.
MEMPR staff will present information on both issues, and will be available for informal discussion and answering questions.
In the case of the permitting session, the objectives are to raise awareness of recent changes to the process and the current expectations of regional staff, and to hear feedback on the system and how it could be improved. Land use staff will present draft Best Management Practices and operational guidance for working in caribou habitat, and invite feedback that will inform the writing of the final draft.
Upon the conclusion of the MEMPR session, the EKCM will be holding it's Annual General Meeting. Topics of discussion will include the upcoming Minerals South 2009 conference, the Core Storage Project, and review of other area initiatives affecting the East Kootenay region.
All members of the general public are welcome to attend the information session and the AGM.
We look forward to seeing you there!
