WCEL Comments on BC's Draft Cumulative Effects Framework

The BC government is developing a strategy to better assess and manage the cumulative ecological and social effects of past, present and future developments.

West Coast is very supportive of the overall policy commitment to undertaking periodic values-based regional cumulative effects assessments, and to using the results in operational, tactical and strategic decision-making. This submission to the BC government outlines our suggestions to clarify and strengthen the current draft of the BC Cumulative Effects Framework (CEF).
