Public Comment Policies
Comments can be submitted to the EAO either online or by mail. They will be published on the EAO Project Information Centre (EPIC).
The EAO publishes all comments received within seven days of receipt, except comments that do not meet our Public Comment Policy (PDF).
EAO forwards all posted comments to project proponents so that they can be fully considered during the project's EA process.
Public Participation in the EA Process
Public consultation is an important and mandatory aspect of environmental assessments in British Columbia, based on the principle that those affected by proposed projects should have an opportunity to provide input to the assessment. As part of all EAs, the EAO provides information for the public and seeks input to inform our work of carrying out EAs in a thorough, timely, transparent and impartial way, considering the environmental, economic, social, cultural and health effects of assessed projects.
Improving the experience and outcomes of public consultation in environmental assessments has been a focus of Environmental Assessment Revitalization. For more details on how the public has been engaged throughout the Revitalization process and information on active engagements, please see the page on Engagement on environmental assessment revitalization.
To be notified of engagement opportunities to help shape the way the EAO engages with the public, please sign up to our distribution list.
