Residents want to contribute to their communities by participating in land and resource decisions that may affect them. Their aim is to build prosperous communities with stable economies within a healthy environment.<\/p>\n<p>The 2004 Memorandum of Agreement between Lillooet Sub Region Community, Forest Economic Interests and the Province (see Appendix) is intended to maximize the benefits of plan implementation for local communities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1886\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2946 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map-768x749.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/general-map-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The municipality of Lillooet has a population of around 2,324 and the provincial government is developing several strategies and policies for the region\u2019s economic, tourism and environmental industries.Those strategies are on a long-term base and incorporate the integrity of the working land base, the direct investment to commercial centres, building on existing assets and infrastructure, taxes shared more equally and a certainty for developers. The plans for commercial strategies are based on land use designation changes and development, upgrading of building exteriors, new residential units and additional commercial floor space, as well as development guidelines for existing development permits on constructions and renovations. The industrial strategies include expansion and development of several areas such as North Lillooet, East Lillooet Airport for industrial and residential areas and the encouragement and promotion of agricultural facilities. There are also many housing strategies for improvement and renovation with development of multi-family sites. The tourism strategies include a lot of support from the District of Lillooet that wants to bring the tourism industry to the top for the region with the Gateway Project at the Highway 99 junction and the signage program. Additionally, the LRMP draft identifies new protected areas and special tourism zones where commercial recreation and tourism management are focussed. The draft attempts to reduce conflict between parties and a better management of the industry. Finally, preservation and recreation strategies are promoting and educating the public in wildlife and environmental conservation.Finally, concerning the recreational plan, there is support to expand the REC Center and improve the acces. In conclusion, Lillooet is a region on development in every sector with a major focus on the conservation of the natural and healthy biodiversity that surrounds it.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/slrd.civicweb.net\/document\/38338\" name=\"Advantage Lillooet\">Advantage Lillooeet<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Issues:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Citizens, local governments and community groups want to be involved in Crown land and resource decisions that will affect their quality of life.<\/li>\n<li>Community interests, as expressed in official community plans, rural land use bylaws and other plans, are not always considered in Crown land and resource decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Lack of collaboration between different orders of government can limit opportunities for community expansion or future infrastructure (e.g., solid waste disposal sites, fire halls, utilities).<\/li>\n<li>Threats to settlements and infrastructure from fire, floods and slides need to be managed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Goals:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Sustainable, economically healthy and safe communities supported by co-operative Crown land and resource management.<\/li>\n<li>Effective communications among all orders of government and community members regarding Crown land management near settled areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-1883-0-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1883-0-2-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1883-0-2-0\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>Community<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-1883-0-2-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_nav_menu panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1883-0-2-1\" ><ul id=\"menu-community-sections\" class=\"menu\"><li  class=\"menu-access-trails-and-transportation menu-item-2304 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/access-and-transportation\/\"><span>Access, Trails and Transportation<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-communities menu-item-2305 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/communities\/\"><span>Communities<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-cultural-and-historical-resources menu-item-2306 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/cultural-and-historical-resources\/\"><span>Cultural and Historical Resources<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-first-nations menu-item-2307 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/first-nations\/\"><span>First Nations<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-visual-landscape-management menu-item-2308 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/visual-landscape-management\/\"><span>Visual Landscape Management<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1883-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-1883-1\" ><div id=\"pgc-1883-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1883-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1883-1-0-0\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<table style=\"width:100%\">\n<p>\t<!-- TITLE BAR --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<th>Objectives<\/th>\n<th>Management Direction\/Strategies<\/th>\n<th>Measures of Success\/Targets<\/th>\n<th>Intent<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<p>\t<!-- ROW --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"7\">1.
