Progress Report on 2014 Work Plan for Inter-Regional Collaboration
In 2012, the Partnership for Water Sustainability in British Columbia asked the Boards of five regional districts – namely Capital, Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Comox Valley and Metro Vancouver – to endorse local government collaboration under the umbrella of 
the Inter-Regional Education Initiative (IREI). The partners are now in Year 3 of inter-regional collaboration.
In February 2014, Kim Stephens, Partnership Executive Director met with the Environmental Services Committee of the Capital Regional District (CRD) to present a Progress Report on Inter-Regional Collaboration for Watershed Sustainability.
Watershed-Based Approach to Community Planning
“I take this opportunity to congratulate Kim Stephens and his Partnership team. For many year, I have been following your work; and I have seen you build up this massive resource inventory of all kinds of information related to watersheds and a watershed-based approach to community planning,” commented Judith Cullington, Councillor with the City of Colwood.
“The Partnership has really helped to move the bar in terms of how people think about watersheds and deal with the water balance.”
“Kim, I think you have under-sold the value of what you do. There is a lot of really good information on the waterbucket.ca website and the waterbalance.ca website; and these link out to all kinds of other places.”
“Kim mentioned the weekly e-newsletter that the Partnership produces. I urge everyone on this committee to get on the distribution list because these e-newsletters will inform you about the latest and greatest news coming out. They always very informative. Kim, thank you for everything that you do,” concluded Judith Cullington.
