About the Human Health Risk Assessment

The Human Health Risk Assessment is a three-phase project organized by the BC Ministry of Health to identify, explore and assess concerns about human health relating to oil and gas development in Northeastern British Columbia.

Phase 1, the public engagement process to identify health concerns, is being carried out by the Fraser Basin Council, which will deliver its final report to the Minister of Health at the end of March 2012.

Please note that the deadline for submitting input to Phase 1 of the HHRA project is March 7, 2012.

This date will be strictly adhered to so that a draft report can be prepared by March 15. We thank you for your co-operation.
