PRINCE GEORGE — The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George and the University of Northern British Columbia have come together to provide students an opportunity for hands on learning and participation with the Regional District’s land use planning processes. A new course entitled Rural Futures in BC’s Provincial North is being offered this semester through UNBC’s School of Planning and Sustainability.
The regional district is undergoing an Offical Community Plan review for Electoral Area A , which encompasses the areas of Salmon Valley, Nukko Lake, Chief Lake, and Ness Lake. The OCP hasn’t been updated since 1997 and this partnership will give students an opportunity for hands on learning.
The regional district will incorporate the students’ work into a revised draft of the OCP for Electoral Area A to be considered by the board later this year.
