The provincial government is seeking comments about proposed changes to the way BC Parks informs the public about permits authorizing activities in parks, protected areas, recreation areas, conservancies, and ecological reserves.
Currently, local newspaper advertisements are the only means of public notification about permits required for commercial use that take place in parks and protected areas.
As part of the new policy, all types of permit applications and subsequent decisions will be posted online, similar to the current park boundary adjustment proposal process.
The draft policy is now available online here. The deadline for comment is June 22.
