GreenStart Program
The GreenStart Pilot Program provided 20 small businesses and organizations from across the region with information and resources to take action to reduce their environmental impact. Hosted by the CRD and CityGreen Solutions, with support from BC Hydro, GreenStart was designed to be a convenient and affordable way for participants to understand their carbon footprint and reduce energy use.

The Mill Hill Garry Oak Restoration Project
There is a pressing need to preserve what remains of our region’s Garry oak meadows. Only five percent of Victoria’s historical Garry oak ecosystems persist - and this five percent contain the highest plant diversity of any terrestrial ecosystems found in coastal British Columbia.
Recognizing this need, CRD Regional Parks created the Mill Hill Restoration Project, which has garnered national recognition. This science-based and award-winning restoration project brings passionate community members together with parks staff under the common goal of preserving this important site.
April 2011
TD Bank Group and the Capital Regional District (CRD) partnered with the shared goals of promoting sustainable tourism and increasing use of the already popular CRD Regional trail system by 20-30 percent.
To support that goal, in March 2011 TD announced a $250,000 donation to the CRD over three years to enhance and promote the Galloping Goose and Lochside regional trails as key tourism travel corridors for tourists and residents.
