Zincton All-Seasons Resort Proposal

 

 

 

Thank you for your interest in the Zincton All-Season Resort Proposal. The Zincton Resort proposal is currently in the Formal Proposal (FP) stage, which is the second stage of a major project review (see process flowchart here). Mountain Resorts Branch (MRB) has developed the Zincton FP Summary of Engagement “What We Heard” document. This “What We Heard” document identifies and summarizes key issues, concerns, questions and suggestions that were received during the Zincton FP public comment period from October 21, 2021 until November 23, 2021.  Public comments are a critical part of the All-Seasons Resort Major Project review process and will be used to establish the public record and inform future decision making.

Zincton FP Summary of Engagement “What We Heard” document

MRB has been reviewing and summarizing the comments from the public, stakeholders, agencies and First Nations received during the comment period in October/November 2021. This information has been provided to the proponent who in turn will respond to and address potential impacts that have been identified with their FP. 

A fundamental part of the FP process is to better understand the environmental considerations and their relationship to the project proposal. As outlined in the All-Season Resort Policy (ASRP), environmental impacts are progressively identified, assessed and mitigated throughout the three-stage resort development planning and review process and the principles of the provincial Environmental Mitigation Policy are employed to address the environmental issues. An Environmental Overview Assessment (EOA) was conducted as part of the Zincton’s FP submission. MRB has received feedback on the EOA from provincial program areas which has been shared with the proponent to address. MRB is committed to affecting a full environmental review, including the development of a comprehensive environmental mitigation plan in subsequent stages of the review process.

The review and issues resolution are ongoing within the review process until the risk of potential negative impacts and critical issues are sufficiently addressed.  There are no defined timelines for these next stages. After the FP review is complete, MRB will prepare recommendations for the final FP and Interim Agreement (IA) decision. If the FP and IA are approved the sole proponent would be invited enter the third stage of the major project review process and submit a draft Master Plan.
