2018-19 FWCP colloquium presentation series
This project provides an education and outreach venue for building connections and developing relationships with those who have an interest in the area. This series of presentations is an opportunity to share knowledge and expertise that is being developed in, or could be applied to, our Peace Region. The project will consist of a series of three invited speaker events, which will take place in the fall, winter and spring of each year; two in communities within the FWCP’s Peace Region and a third in Prince George on the UNBC campus. Two of these events will feature researchers from British Columbia or Alberta, while the third will feature a national or international speaker, all of whom will present information or engage in discussion of topics related to fish and/or wildlife species in our Peace Region.

Final report: executive summary
This project continues a long relationship between the Natural Resources and Environmental Studies Institute (NRESi) at UNBC and the Peace Region’s Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) (previously B.C. Hydro) with the delivery of 3 research colloquium presentations. These presentations provided an education and outreach venue where we could discuss emerging research projects and the current state of knowledge on natural resource issues relating to the FWCP Peace region. The presentations provided an opportunity to develop relationships between UNBC and local stakeholders and to assess current FWCP information needs. The project addressed the FWCP’s strategic objective in the Peace Basin Plan – Stewardship and Education and Community Engagement, to increase community engagement by building and maintaining relationships with stakeholders and aboriginal communities.
