Thank you for your interest in the Bridal Veil Mountain Resort (BVMR) all-season resort proposal, near Chilliwack, BC.
Expression of Interest
The BVMR proposal is currently in the Expression of Interest (EOI) stage, which is the first stage of a major project review (see process flowchart here). This stage is conceptual with the goal of assessing project feasibility. Information about the BVMR EOI can be found here:
The EOI materials have been developed by the BVMR proponent and do not represent an endorsement from the Province of B.C.
More detailed information about the project is developed if it advances to the next stage of the major project review process outlined in the All-Seasons Resort Policy.
Public Comment Period and Additional Expressions of Interest
Public engagement is a key part of the review process. At this EOI stage, the Mountain Resorts Branch (MRB) collects public input for consideration in understanding public interests in the proposal area as well as aspects to consider in the major project review process.
Public comments were collected about the BVMR EOI via online survey, email and mail between January 15 and February 28, 2025.
The BVMR Public Engagement Summary Report summarizes results of the public engagement process.
Invitations to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) from other parties who may have an interest in developing an all-seasons resort in the area were accepted during the public comment period. EOIs from other parties were due by February 28, 2025.
One additional competing EOI was received during the call for additional interest in the project area. The competing EOI was subsequently withdrawn, eliminating the need for competitive process.
Next Steps
The Mountain Resorts Branch will use information collected from local First Nations, local government, provincial technical review, and the public to determine if the proponent should be invited to submit a Formal Proposal and be determined the Sole Proponent.
If the proponent were to be invited to submit a Formal Proposal it would build on the EOI information and respond to key issues identified within the EOI review.
