Approval to Investigate the Costs of a Harvesting Program

At the April 11, 2025 Regional Board is requesting from the Province a one-year extension to the two-year aquatic vegetation harvesting permits. This extension is to allow for time to conduct a cost analysis of conducting a two-year aquatic vegetation harvesting program for Charlie Lake and Swan Lake including capital and operational costs, funding opportunities, and cost differences in contracting the work and/or completing the work in-house.
