Tourism Recreation and Culture Inventory Task Force
Inventory User Survey

The Tourism, Recreation and Culture (TRC) Task Force is one of seven taskforces struck by the Provincial Resource Inventory Committee. The Task Forces are all reviewing resource inventories that could be used to assist in land use planning. The TRC Task Force is contacting a number of users of tourism, recreation and/or culture resource information. We are trying to identify who uses this information and for what purpose. Your responses to the following questions will help the Task Force develop better criteria for tourism, recreation and culture inventories.
