Appendix D: DFO Regional Contacts

The DFO Habitat Management Program (HMP) is delivered across Canada in over 65 offices which are organized into six Regions. All staff work both horizontally across their respective Regions and vertically with National Headquarters to ensure cohesive and predictable application of the Program.

The six Regions are:

  • Pacific (British Columbia and the Yukon);
  • Central and Arctic (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Northwest Territories and Nunavut);
  • Quebec;
  • Maritimes (Nova Scotia and southern New Brunswick - waters flowing from Nova Scotia and new Brunswick into the bay of Fundy);
  • Gulf (northern New Brunswick, northern Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island - Waters flowing into the Gulf of St. Lawrence); and
  • Newfoundland and Labrador.

There is an interactive map that will assist Proponents in finding their local DFO office.
