About the Partnership for Water Sustainability in British Columbia
What Membership Means
“The vision of the Partnership is that water sustainability will be achieved through implementation of green infrastructure policies and practices. The Partnership mission is to facilitate change. Because the Partnership is the hub for a ‘convening for action’ network in the local government setting, we are positioned to facilitate alignment of regional and local actions with provincial goals,” states Tim Pringle, President.
“We believe that by providing education, research, technical services and tools, we can help communities both reduce the increased demand for water and protect stream health from the adverse consequences of land development practices. We are working with practitioners involved in water resources functions to foster integrated protection and management strategies through enhancement of practitioner expertise. In other words, we are ‘developing talent’,” adds Mike Tanner, Partnership Secretary.
