B.C. will be hosting a Virtual Town Hall on the Columbia River Treaty, February 24 from 6pm - 8:15pm Pacific Time. People from across the Columbia Basin and beyond will have a chance to hear from, and ask questions to, Canadian negotiators, Indigenous Nations, local government representatives and others involved in current efforts to modernize the Columbia River Treaty.
Topics will not only include the current Canada-U.S. negotiations, but also ongoing Indigenous Nations-led ecosystem studies, Local Governments' Committee updated recommendations and work underway domestically to address interests related to the Treaty.
Questions are encouraged to be submitted in advance to columbiarivertreaty@gov.bc.ca before 4pm Pacific Time on February 18. Questions may be read out loud during the meeting, but will be kept anonymous.
The session will be held by Zoom, with an option to phone in for those who are not able to connect by web.
