Committees play an important role in BCCNM’s work. They are typically comprised of both members of the public and registrants, who each serve one, two, or three year terms. Every January, about a third of all our committee members will reach the end of their terms in office. Terms ending will either trigger a process for reappointments or create committee vacancies. The number of committee vacancies available will vary from year to year.
There are ten committees at BCCNM. Three committees support the governance and oversight work of the Board. The other seven are regulatory committees, which have been established under the BCCNM bylaws to support the core programs that deliver on BCCNM's legislated mandate.
