Biographical history

In 2005 the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands was renamed from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries when it was transferred the responsibility for Land and Water British Columbia Inc. and Land Information BC (OIC 450/2005). The mandate of the ministry was to promote economic development and environmental sustainability for the agricultural, aquaculture and food sectors. The ministry is responsible for managing Crown land, allocating Crown land, setting policy for managing the resources, and working with other stakeholders.

In 2010, the Ministry was renamed the Ministry of Agriculture. At this time, many Land functions were transferred to the Ministry of Forests, Mines and Lands, and the newly created Ministry of Natural Resource Operations (OIC 652/2010). The Ministry of Agriculture also gained the following functions: policy advice related to range resource management from the Minister of Forests and Range, and marine fisheries and seafood industry development from the Ministry of Environment.

Biographical history

The Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks was renamed the Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management in 2001 (OIC 565/2001). Many functions of the old Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks were also transferred to the newly established Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection.

One of the main roles of the Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management was to be a central agency for land use planning. It was created from the planning branches of several groups, including all the functions of the recently disestablished Land Use Coordination Office (LUCO). Additional functions included survey, mapping, resource inventories, Crown land policies, water rights and licensing, the Land Reserve Commission, the British Columbia Assets and Land Corporation, the Archaeology Branch, among others.

The ministry was disestablished in 2005 (OIC 450/2005). Most of its functions related to land were transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands. Other functions were likely transferred to the new Ministry of Environment (renamed from the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection).

Scope and content

The series contains records pulled from the office of Ken Baker, Assistant Deputy Minister of the Resource Management Division, Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management. In 2005, the functions of this office were moved to the Strategic Initiatives Division of the Integrated Management Bureau, Ministry of Agriculture and Lands.

The records in this series mainly deal with important issues relating to Land Use Plans in land management areas. The records contain mainly briefing notes and correspondence sent to the executive explaining changes to Land Management programs, terminology, as well as updates on the progress with First Nations (mainly Haida) consultations and treaty negotiations related to land use planning. The records also contain numerous subject files on executive issues including several topics related to conservation, sustainable resource management plans, and plans for resource development such as mining, water, oil and gas. These files mainly contain correspondence, updates from committees, backgrounders, briefing or information notes, minutes of conference calls, presentations about land management/land use planning and assessment reports.
