Implementation Teams were formed to provide oversight and guidance for ongoing projects and related monitoring and research initiatives, to help identify needs within specific priority issue areas, and to recommend projects to be considered for inclusion in the CBBEP Annual Work Plan. Implementation Teams typically meet at least once a year with CBBEP staff, and meetings are open to a diversity of stakeholder groups with interests and expertise in the issues addressed by a particular implementation team.
If you are interested in participating in our annual implementation team process, please contact the appropriate CBBEP staff support person listed below.
