Meetings are livestreamed via Facebook, and posted online after the meeting in case you miss it.
The PRRD will accept gallery questions and comments from the public, via email in advance, to tyra.henderson@prrd.bc.ca. Your comments and your name will be read out loud during the Gallery Questions and Comments portion of the meeting.
