Origin of BPAC

The first gathering of the Binational Advisory Council (BPAC) was held November 13, 1988, at the Holiday Inn of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The BPAC adopted its charge and developed meeting procedures called BPAC Structure and Procedures. It is a citizen's group made up of members from Canada and the United States. The specific goals of BPAC are to inform the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) Team about public views and opinion and to assist with water use goals, planning methodology, technical data, preferred remedial options, problem identification, plan recommendations, and plan adoption. BPAC is dedicated to ensuring that the river water quality and the ecosystem are improved and protected for all users of the river.

Next BPAC meeting is the 5th of November at 7pm- ON side
