The primary focus for the Committee is to improve the regional economic development opportunities for local governments. As such, the Committee continues to represent and is an advocate for communities on resource issues by monitoring, developing and making recommendations on policy regarding fish, forests, energy, mining, agriculture and water (as a commodity) that have the potential to impact the stability, viability and sustainability of BC communities. The Committee also works to connect communities to emerging economic development opportunities (e.g., value-added, tourism, technology, etc.).
