This page provides an overview of some of the major consultation opportunities that are relevant for the public outdoor recreation community. If we have missed listing any significant engagement opportunities, please notify us.

While ORCBC will provide input into a number of consultations each year, we encourage individuals and groups from the outdoor recreation community to get informed about the issues and speak up to provide insights and advance the interests of this diverse and important community.

To see a list of other consultation opportunities, you can visit EngageBC, the Province’s Angling, Hunting and Trapping Engagement page and BC Parks’ Management Planning page. As an exclusive service to our member organizations, we provide them with email notifications of commercial tourism tenure applications. You can also do your own search of current applications by visiting Front Counter BC.

Wildlife Act Review

The province has initiated a review of the Wildlife Act, in accordance with the commitment made in Action 12 of the Together for Wildlife Strategy priorities such as:

• Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples

• Setting objectives

• Improving wildlife stewardship outcomes

• Ensuring effective and accessible service delivery

• Dedicating funding

In addition to these priority areas, there are also several administrative updates needed to support the proper functioning of the Wildlife Act.
