This book represents the archeological evidence for the first 5,500 years of prehistory in British Columbia, from about 10,500 to 5,000 years ago. As this period is poorly known, even to specialists, Early Human Occupation in British Columbia is a vital contribution to current knowledge about an enigmatic time in a critically important area of western North America.

The Commission on Resources and Environment (CORE) was given the legal responsibility in 1992 to develop a strategy for land use and related resource and environmental management. After two years of public consultation and research, the commission set out in this report and three companion volumes a provincial land use strategy, supported by a Sustainability Act. This report describes sustainability actions in B.C. from 1910 to the present and why a Sustainability Act is needed; the provincial land strategy to date, including current initiatives and public participation; and the development of the Sustainability Act. A glossary is included. Appendices include a provincial land use charter and land use goals.
