    Description
    The Avalanche and Weather Program’s unit, in the British Columbia Ministry of
    Transportation and Infrastructure, administers an integrated avalanche risk
    management program along provincial highways in British Columbia. These Avalanche Programs are responsible for ensuring that motorists and workers can rely on a safe provincial transportation system during the winter months.  A key aspect of this program is the use of explosives to release unstable snow under controlled circumstances to mitigate a current or potential avalanche hazard. The
    ministry’s avalanche control programs also use explosives to analyze snowpack
    stability and evaluate the overall avalanche hazard.

    The Ministry invites interested parties to submit proposals for the provision of avalanche explosives for 7 separate regional areas. Interested parties must abide with the, Transport Canada Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Government of Canada Emergency Response Assistance Plan (ERAP) for Explosives Spills.
