Learn about our community outreach and services

The BCER's Community Engagement department is inviting land owners to be a part of our Regional Networking Group (RNG), a hub for the BCER to deliver bulletins, updates and any public events pertinent to land owners as they relate to the oil, gas and geothermal industries. If you join the RNG, you will receive the most up-to-date information about how these industries are regulated. You will also have the opportunity to provide feedback on how these activities affect you. Your participation and feedback is a valuable resource to the BCER and will help us stay informed.
