| THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN UPCOMING
Water Act Modernization Workshops (Click here for more information)
Purpose of the Workshops
Living Water Smart: B.C.’s Water Plan identifies modernizing theWater Act as an important way to ensure water security for B.C.’s future. Modernizing the Water Act is about making our water laws simpler to understand, administer and enforce. A modern Water Act will also provide greater certainty for people, businesses and the environment and allow us to better adapt over time to changing demands and priorities.
The purpose of the one-day workshops is to share information, discuss principles for a new Water Act, and explore proposals for change. Options and solutions proposed in a discussion paper, to be released in February, will be the main focus of the workshops. Facilitated group discussions involving stakeholders from a range of sectors will help inform a modernized Water Act for B.C.
