Kamloops Air Quality Roundtable

Kamloops Air Quality Roundtable

About the Roundtable

The Kamloops Air Quality Roundtable (the Roundtable) is a multi-party collaborative initiative formed in June 2015. The purpose of the Roundtable is to enable inclusive, multi-party communication, information-sharing, feedback and wider implementation of existing tools, products and initiatives related to air quality that are science-based and that recognize environmental, social, health and economic perspectives.

Objectives

  • Educate and raise awareness of air quality issues amongst the public and various audiences
  • Support implementation of the City of Kamloops Airshed Management Plan and, upon request, review, advise and provide feedback on the plan
  • Identify and address air quality monitoring gaps, support new post-secondary research and continue existing monitoring partnerships
  • Implement and measure impacts of initiatives to improve air quality including, but not limited to, industry initiatives, anti-idling, woodstoves and open burning bylaws.

About the Fraser Basin Council

The Fraser Basin Council (FBC) is a charitable non-profit organization that brings people together to advance sustainability in the Fraser River Basin and throughout BC. Established in 1997, FBC is a collaboration of four orders of government (federal, provincial, local and First Nations) along with those from the private sector and civil society. We work with people in multiple sectors, helping them find collaborative solutions to today’s issues through a commitment to the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability. Our focus is on healthy water and watersheds, action on climate change and air quality and strong, resilient communities and regions.
