Advocacy Strategy

The Board is committed to effective advocacy to help address multi-jurisdictional issues that impact the region and the people who live here. The Board can use advocacy when issues require actions outside the CRD’s direct service mandate. This may include advocating for infrastructure as well as regulatory, legislative, financial and operational support from senior levels of government. Advocacy efforts include Board resolutions and statements, face to face meetings, presentations, partnerships and correspondence.
