District
Metro Vancouver (formerly the Greater
Vancouver Regional District) is a working partnership
of twenty-one municipalities and one electoral area. Metro Vancouver is
dedicated to maintaining the quality of life in the Greater Vancouver
area, and to the delivery of region-wide essential services.
The
population of Metro Vancouver is over 2.0 million and growing. It is the
role of the Metro Vancouver to deliver essential utility services that are
regional rather than local in nature, including drinking water,
sewage treatment and waste disposal.
Under
the umbrella of Metro Vancouver, there are a number of separate legal entities:
the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD), the Greater Vancouver
Sewerage and Drainage District (GVS&DD), and the Greater Vancouver
Housing Corporation (GVHC).
These
legal entities are linked by a shared vision and common goals set
out in the Creating Our Future and the regional growth management
strategy - the Liveable Region Strategic Plan (LRSP).
Metro Vancouver
and BIEAP
One
of the most important things Metro Vancouver does is in the BIEAP area
of interest is to manage the sewerage and drainage systems.
Metro Vancouver plays an active role on a variety of committees within BIEAP,
including the Partners Committee, the Management Committee and other
technical and assessment committees.
