Eight Peaks Sustainable Resource Management Plan (SRMP)

The Eight Peaks SRMP, which covers an area of approximately 44,500 hectares around the Town of Blue River, was approved by government in June 2003.

The SRMP provides consolidated direction for a range of resource values with consideration for economic and community interests and environmental stewardship. Resource management objectives that create conditions for integrated forestry, heli-skiiing and other winter recreation activities are the primary plan outputs. The SRMP also reflects a commitment to the needs of wildlife, the environment, commercial and public recreation and other commercial uses.

The allocation and management of Crown land and coastal marine resources plays a key role in expanding and diversifying the economy, sustaining environmental values, and promoting the health and well-being of all British Columbians.

In 2008, the BC Government committed to improving consultation and respectful engagement with First Nations.   Benefits of this work—to government, First Nations, proponents, and the public—include enhancing meaningful government-to-government relations with First Nations, creating a positive investment climate by providing certainty and predictability, and reducing the heavy consultation workload for all parties.

The First Nations Initiatives Division (FNID), a division of the Integrated Land Management Bureau, is leading a shift in business to the “Virtual integration” of aboriginal relations.  Virtual Integration is a government initiative to implement common, policies, procedures and tools across all the natural resource agencies.  FNID works with all Natural Resource Agencies to deliver Virtual Integration through two main business lines:

  1. Coordinating interagency consultation with First Nations, comprising i) an aligned policy framework, ii) regional economic development priority setting, including shared business planning and resource sharing, and iii) coordinating multi-authorization project consultation. 
  2. Negotiating strategic agreements with First Nations that will improve the Province’s investment climate, reduce the consultation volume for all parties, create enduring forums for government-to-government engagement and achieve the goals of the Transformative Change Accord.
