What we do
The PIC meets regularly with government and industry to discuss resource management and development activities within the Kalum Management Area.
Probably no one who first gathered in 1992 to plan for the future of forestry resources and other development within the two million hectares of northwestern B.C. anticipated that it would take 10 years to complete a Plan.
In 2002, the provincial government of the day signed off on the Kalum Land and Resource Management Plan and it wasn’t until 2004 that the Plan Implementation Committee, or PIC for short, came into being.
The PIC’s mandate is to monitor the ongoing or planned resource use and development within the Kalum Management Area, which runs from the Nass Valley south through Terrace to Kitimat and east and west of those locations. Major rivers within the management plan area include the Skeena, Kitimat, Nass, Lakelse, Kitlope, Copper, and Kalum.
The PIC doesn not make land use decisions. Instead, the PIC, with a membership including industry, recreational, tourism, environmental, First Nations, local governments, and others, represents the broad community perspectives concerning strategic land use decisions.
It maintains consistent contact with government agencies and invites industrial and other proponents to make presentations and engage in conversations to provide community perspectives.
The PIC meets monthly with the exception of the summer months. Its meetings are open to the public. The Kalum Land and Resource Management Plan and its accompanying Sustainable Resource Management Plan are available for reading on this website.
