As an Advisory Committee to the City of London, the Environmental and Ecological Planning Advisory Committee (EEPAC) focusses on environmental and natural area issues, usually related in some way to City Planning. Areas of involvement include:
- most development proposals in the City where natural areas might be impacted
- proposing policy and procedure improvements to enhance natural area protection and enhancement
- environmental initiatives related to environmental planning
More information about the scope, work and schedule of EEPAC, as well as an an application form, can be found on the City website at www.london.ca/d.aspx?s=/Committees_and_Task_Forces/EEPAC.htm or follow links City Hall / Committees and Task Forces / Advisory Committees.
To apply, a person need only complete the online application form.
Typically, members with knowledge in fields such as geography, biology, ecology, environmental planning are sought, as EEPAC also reviews Natural Heritage Studies and Environmental Impact Studies as well as conducting technical evaluations to recommend protection of natural areas. However, knowledge of these fields is not mandatory, so don't be scared off. Energy and committment is also important.
I would be very pleased to answer any questions, by email or phone, on the workings, subjects, time committment of EEPAC etc. Alternatively, interested persons can contact the Committee Secretary at City Hall, Lorelei Fisher, 519-661-2500 ext 5417.
Regards,
Dean Sheppard,
Chair, EEPAC
