PRINCE GEORGE – The CEO for the local Chamber of Commerce joined like-minded Chamber representatives this week to meet with Forests Minister Doug Donaldson about the Caribou recovery plans.
The Province has inked two agreements with two separate First Nations in the Peace Country and placed a large portion of the province along the Rockies from Prince George to the Kootenays under what’s called a Section 11 order. But details around the restrictions under that order are still unknown. Local Chamber CEO Todd Corrigall says they wanted to send a message that they want to be included in the discussions around the fate of communities under that Section 11.
“That, ensuring through these processes, the members that we all represent, the communities that we all work alongside, are properly consulted through that process.”
However, knowing this government, MLA Mike Morris feels they may not get the response they’re looking for.
