Range Act ([RSBC 1996] Chapter 396).
This Act gives the power to "regional and district managers" to grant rights over Crown range in the form of grazing licences, grazing permits, temporary grazing permits, hay cutting licences and hay cutting permits (sect. 3). Crown range means land included within the boundaries of a range district as established under this Act, but does not include land that is subject to a lease issued under the Land Act (sect. 1). Procedures for applications and fees are spelled out in sections 10-19. Section 14(1) and 14(2) deal with direct awards of licences or permits.
