SOAER

The SOAER Joint Steering Committee (JSC) is made up of two committees that support the work of the MRBB: the SOAER Committee and the Traditional Knowledge and Strengthening Partnerships (TKSP) Committee. The SOAER JSC has Members from all five provincial and territorial governments, the federal government and the MRBB Indigenous member from each jurisdiction. The JSC is chaired by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and is supported by the MRBB Secretariat. The JSC and its members report to the MRBB on SOAER project progress and issues regularly, including an update at MRBB formal meetings bi-annually. The JSC met bi-weekly for most of the SOAER development process to discuss key decisions and progress, review deliverables and provide valuable feedback to the SOAER Project consultants.
