The records document the initial scopes of the plan and provide the framework and ground rules to which all plans adhered. The records provide evidential and informational value in regard to scope and mandate of the plans, as well as planning teams’ participant roles, responsibilities and authority.

Types of records in this series include the actual approved plans and terms of reference from different planning regions, as well as publications of planning strategies. Records also cover specific topics such as biodiversity and timber impacts, completion studies, and project feasibility studies that would impact the planning process.

The records are arranged according to the Resource Management Operational Records Classification System (schedule 144100) using the following primary numbers:

17000: Resource Management – General
17550: RMP – Land and Resource Management Plans
17580: RMP – Landscape Unit Plans
17670: RMP – Regional Land Use Plans

Approved resource management plans for the Cariboo region

  • GR-3903
  • Series
  • 1969-2006

This series consists of approved resource management plans (RMPs) primarily from the Cariboo and surrounding region, from 1969-2006. These records document the creation of the approved, published versions of the ministry’s various kinds of resource management plans and terms of reference.

Ad hoc RMPs are developed as necessary to fulfill unusual or unexpected planning needs. Files include issue specific plans for protected area strategies and road access plans. The majority of these files are lakes classification files which record the characteristics and uses of specific lakes.

Approved lake classification files may contain maps, photographs, aerial photographs, copies of fishing licenses, fish analysis, meeting minutes, reconnaissance surveys, reconnaissance lake inventories, and a brief report describing the size, shape, location, and uses of the lake. Most files list the uses of the lake and immediate area for timber, silviculture, range, engineering, fishing, recreation, commercial use, wildlife use, and First Nations use. Any commercial interests on the lakes such as traplines, guides or resorts may be listed. Files may also include correspondence regarding lake classification from government employees or interested third parties.

Ad hoc coordinated access management plans allow for the construction of roads and other infrastructure to increase access to wilderness areas. Files include letters from interested third parties impacted by the plan, alongside maps, reports, meeting records, and comments on draft plans by members of the public.

Sustainable resource management plans (SRMPs) cover a relatively small area (usually under 100,000 hectares), referred to as a landscape unit, and address the specific resource management issues in the area. This series includes records related to the 100 Mile House SRMP, including terms of reference and planning team documents used in drafting the plan.

Local resource use plans (LRUPs) were replaced by SRMPs between 1999 and 2003 and functioned similarly. The series includes LRUPs for several areas. Files may include planning team records, final approved plans, and a variety of other records which may document the creation of plans, the annual review of plans by community members and stakeholders, and the execution of the plan. Files address issues such as the construction of infrastructure, land management and various kinds of land use in the areas, particularly managing grazing land through the use of burning and fence construction.

The series includes two water use resource management plans, one for Clinton Creek and another for Michelle Creek near a Nazko Indian Reserve.

The series also includes a coastal RMP for Kyuquot Sound, a copy of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District regional growth management strategy, a regional land use plan (RLUP) for the Cariboo Chilcotin land use plan (CCLUP) and two higher level RMPs, one for the CCLUP and one for Kamloops.

It is unclear exactly which Ministries may have been responsible for the creation of these records before the 1990s. The likely Ministries responsible for the creation of this series, and their dates of the responsibility, are:
Ministry of Environment (1988-1991)
British Columbia. Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (1991-2001)
British Columbia. Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management (2001-2005)
British Columbia. Ministry of Agriculture and Lands (2005-2010)

Archaeological violation case files

  • GR-4055
  • Series
  • 1977-2019

This series consists of violation and complaint files related to archaeological sites across the province. The files were created by the Archaeology Branch and its predecessors from 1977-2019. Records relate to the receipt of and response to complaints and violations under the Heritage Conservation Act. Complaints usually originate from the public and may lead to investigations of alleged violations. This can include investigating Heritage Conservation Act offences, preservation intervention, recommendations, final decisions or charges for convicted offences.

Offences under the Act include damage, desecration, excavation, removal or other alteration of archaeological sites, artifacts, petroglyphs, burial sites, human remains, culturally modified trees (CMTs) and other heritage objects without a valid permit. Many files relate to site damage or artifact removal during industrial activities, such as logging or construction. Some files relate to the discovery of potential sites or artifacts during the course of this work. Other files relate to relic hunters or people posing as archaeologists and the theft of artifacts.

Records include correspondence, memoranda, site inventory forms, maps, photos, police records, court records, legal opinions, archaeological impact assessments, reports, field notes, incident reports, injunctions and stop work orders.

Records are arranged alphabetically by the name of the relevant geographic location. File titles may include the Borden number identifying the site location. File dates are approximate. Many files contain records with earlier dates and very few files contain records up to 2019. 2019 was the year all files were closed.

Classified as 11100-30 in the Archaeology Operational Records Classification System (ORCS).

Archaeology Branch Indigenous liaison case files

  • GR-4054
  • Series
  • 1975-2019

This series consists of Indigenous or Aboriginal relations case files created by the Archeology Branch and its predecessors from 1975-2019. The records relate to fostering and maintaining relationships with First Nations bands, tribal councils and treaty groups in order to facilitate the delivery of provincial archaeological services. This includes participation in the treaty process or interim measures agreements (IMAs) when archaeological sites may be involved and advice for groups participating in treaty or interim measures negotiations. Interim measures agreements provide for the protection, management or use of land and resources before treaties are concluded. Records address a variety of issues, requests or inquiries and provide evidence of the interaction between the government and First Nations on archaeological issues. Most records regard consultation related to attaining approval for archaeological permits.

Each file relates to a particular group and can include information on multiple archaeological sites. The series includes files for almost every Nation, Band, or Tribal Council in BC, as well as several other community organizations working on their behalf. If an Indigenous group changes its name, the file titles were updated with the new name in order to maintain the continuity of the records. Most names are correct up to 2019 when the files were closed.

Record types include correspondence, memoranda, maps, cultural studies, reports and records related to treaties.

Files are arranged alphabetically by name of the Nation or other group. File dates are approximate. Many files contain records with earlier dates and very few files contain records up to 2019. 2019 was the year all files were closed.

Classified as 11050-20 in the Archaeology Operational Records Classification System (ORCS). Some files were reviewed as part of the Xeni Gwet’in First Nations Government v. Her Majesty the Queen et al.
