This series consists of resource management plans created primarily by the Kootenay-Boundary Inter Agency Management Committee (IAMC), from 1994-2010. IAMCs coordinate and direct all aspects of the development of resource management plans, as well as coordinate the implementation of the plan. This work can involve a variety of different government Ministries and stakeholders.

Resource management plans include regional land use plans (RLUP). RLUPs span large geographic regions and generally provide: broad land use zones defined on a map; objectives that guide management of natural resources in each zone; and strategies for achieving the objectives.

The majority of files in this series are specifically related to the protected areas strategy (PAS) and caribou management. Protected areas are set aside in order to protect the province’s natural features and diversity, including rare and endangered species, critical habitats, and outstanding or unique botanical, zoological, geological, and paleontological features, as well as outstanding or fragile cultural heritage features and recreational features such as trails. Records relate to planning, conducting studies of the area, consulting with interested parties and creation of the strategy. Records include correspondence, maps and reports. There are also meeting minutes and other records from the Southern Rocky Mountain Advisory Committee.
