North Canyon Improvement District

May 1, 2009
Natural Resource Region: kootenay-boundary
District: rocky-mountain

The North Canyon Improvement District submitted a complaint to the Forest Practices Board on March 16, 2009. The complainant said that the local community forest agreement holder, Creston Valley Forest Corporation (the licensee):

  • had not properly consulted the complainant about forest activities proposed in Camp Run Creek; and
  • had not complied with its forest stewardship plan strategies or a higher-level plan objective for logging in that consumptive-use watershed.

The complainant was also concerned that the Forest Planning and Practices Regulation under the Forest and Range Practices Act does not protect the complainant from risk and liability should logging activities result in an adverse impact to its water source.

The Board conducts its work throughout British Columbia, and we respectfully acknowledge the territories of the many Indigenous Peoples who have lived on these lands since time immemorial.
