Board Members
All Board members are appointed by the Cabinet of the Provincial government.
The Board is lead by the Chair – who reports to the Minister of Community and Rural
Development. The Chair, two Vice-Chairs and Registrar manage the appeals, working
with the parties to seek resolution through mutual agreement. If the appeal is not
settled, it will be decided by one or more Board members who may be the Chair, Vice-Chair
or a part-time member.
