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 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 Metor 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 Livable Region Strategic Plan (LRSP).
GVRD and FREMP
One
of the most important things Metro Vancouver does is in FREMP is to manage
the sewerage and drainage systems which discharge into the Fraser
River.
Metro Vancouver plays an active role on a variety of committees within FREMP,
including the Partners Committee, the Management Committee and other
technical and assessment committees.
