Both the provincial and federal governments have requirements where certain resource developments proposals undergo an Environmental Assessment (EA) before they can proceed. This course will introduce students to the process of these EAs. Topics include the players involved in the EA process, legislation and guidelines established by BC and the federal government, steps to conducting an EA, the various tools and methodologies used to gather, analyze, and interpret data, and monitoring techniques. Encompassing and integrating the recent reform to the federal EA process and the proposed changes to the provincial EA process as proposed by First Nations and the public will be a core component of this course. 2023/01/09-2023/04/24 Lecture Monday 09:00AM - 12:00PM, Centre of Excellence in Sust, Room 201
