The B.C. Civil Liberties Association plans to hold talks on RCMP accountability during a 14-stop tour of communities in the province outside of Metro Vancouver.

David Eby, the association’s executive director, is set to lead the public workshops scheduled from August 9 to 23.

The workshops are intended to provide a forum for participants to critique local RCMP services and learn about their rights.

Feedback from the tour will be shared with B.C.’s solicitor general and the RCMP, according to the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.

In 2012, the contract for RCMP policing in B.C. expires.

Stops on the tour include: Merritt, Kamloops, Williams Lake, Anahim Lake, Bella Coola, Quesnel, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Prince George, Houston, Smithers, Terrace, Prince Rupert, and Campbell River.
