Board Meetings

BCEHS holds five open board meetings per year. Board meetings typically take place in Vancouver.

Each board meeting will include both open and in camera sessions, unless the Board determines otherwise. Members of the public have the opportunity to make presentations to the Board before each open board meeting and the Board will also respond to written questions from the public.

The availability of the public presentation and question-and-answer (Q&A) periods are advertised prior to each open board meeting in addition to being posted on BCEHS's website. Depending on the number of requests for public presentations and questions submitted, the board meeting may begin earlier than scheduled.

*The time and location of the next scheduled board meeting are publicized at least 30 days before the meeting date and agenda are posted seven days prior to the meeting.
