Feedback From Fall 2023 Heritage Conservation Act Transformation Project (HCATP) Engagement Released
Ministry of Forests
Outcomes from Phase 2 engagement with First Nations and stakeholders are outlined in the HCATP Phase 2 What We Heard Report on the Archaeology Branch website.
Feedback indicated that the proposed changes are in the right areas of focus, but there is an opportunity to build out these proposals further. Given this feedback, the project timelines have been deferred to further consider a more comprehensive package at future legislative sessions.
CHBA BC has been engaged in this process and will continue to monitor it closely due to its potential impacts on archaeological processes and permits for residential projects. We encourage our members to review the report with their consultants and share any feedback with us.
