1.2. METHODS
Reviewing the Template Indicator List
Where template indicators were unclear, CCME task groups were consulted throu~h the
CCME Project Manager, Aniko Szojka-PameIl,to clarify tenninology and definitions.
Federal-provincial definitionsand guidelines were noted. Where no national definitions
exist, British Columbia conventions were used. Definitions are presented in the glossary
in Appendix I.
Identifying, Collecting and Assessing British Columbia Data
The first step in identifyingBritish Columbiadata was to consult with the CCME State of
Environment Task Force representatives for British Columbia, Linda Hannah and Risa
Smith. These representatives supplied existingreports and databases (e.g. British
Columbia State of EnvironmentReport 1993) and a list of provincial ministry contacts to
obtain additional information.
