SOSCP is committed to influencing sustainable and responsible use of land through establishing a community of practice, sharing ideas and professional development, expertise, and capacity building.
In 2009 SOSCP established a regional environmental planning roundtable that encourages information sharing and developing regionally consistent approaches to land use that are responsive to the needs of communities. Through this collaborative process, SOSCP and local government partners have embarked on a capacity building strategy to garner technical and planning support.
Matching support by local governments and SOSCP partners and funders has created the contract position of a shared Environmental Planner. Local government partners work together to guide the activities of the shared environmental planner and manage the project details. Alison Peatt, RPBio, works to provide environmental advice and support to all the rural electoral areas and municipalities in the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen.
If you are a local government planner that requires environmental advice or support, please contact Alison Peatt at 250-809-2609, or alisonpeatt@shaw.ca
