The Peace/Williston Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (PWFWCP)

One of PWFWCP's goals is to involve the people who use and enjoy the fish and wildlife resources of the region by allowing them to have an opportunity to provide their input into the program and to participate in certain projects. As a result, PWFWCP has a public communication and consultation program which involves meeting with residents, stakeholders, and First Nations from the watershed, and communicating the program's plans and project results to people with an interest in the area.
