British Columbia – March 19, 2024 – The Indigenous Services Canada has determined that the proposed harvesting of damaged  timber by the 2023 forest fire on Quaaout 1 is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:
