The RMP Monitoring Program addresses the periodic RMP update required by the Highlands Act.  The Program evaluates progress toward achieving the goals of the RMP through implementation of policies and programs.  The Monitoring Program is not intended to amend the RMP, but rather develop the factual foundation on which potential amendments to the RMP may be made.

The objectives of the Monitoring Program are:

• Identify indicators and milestones that will allow measurement of progress toward goals outlined in the Highlands Act and RMP.
• To the extent practical, measure progress to date.
• Establish process for continued monitoring going forward.
• The launch of the 2014/2015 Monitoring Program was announced at the March 2013 Highlands Council Meeting (ppt).
