PNCIMA Dates!

For those of you who have an interest or a stake in how the government plans the use of our local marine resources, you might be interested in attending the PNCIMA Forum in Richmond, on March 26 and 27th. There is funding available for stakeholders from the North Island to attend, if you apply for the funding before March 9.

On Thursday, March 5 from 6:15 - 9:00 pm the Department of Fisheries and Oceans will be holding a community meeting in Port Hardy, at Malone's Oceanside Bistro. The purpose of this meeting is to:

• Give the community an overview of the PNCIMA initiative
• Offer an opportunity for input on engagement, values and issues specific to the PNCIMA initiative
• Inform the community about the PNCIMA forum to be held in Richmond on March 26 and 27

Anyone from the community is welcome at both the March 5 event and the March 26-27 event. Hopefully I'll see you there!
