Kitsumkalum CCP - Lands & Resources Survey

What is your vision for Kitsumkalum's lands and resources?

Kitsumkalum is working on a comprehensive community plan (CCP) and gathering information from community members about your vision and goals for the future of Kitsumkalum. Your responses will only be seen by the CCP team, Heather Bohn and Tracy Sam. The topics for the questions come from the community, based on feedback at the CCP Launch (Sept. 12, 2015) and from the advisory
committee.

If you have any questions or comments please get in touch with us:
