Summary Report on 2008 Cowichan Valley Learning Lunch Seminar Series
Create Liveable Communities & Protect Stream Health
The Learning Lunch Seminar Series promotes a consistent provincial approach to rainwater management and green infrastructure. The Cowichan Valley Regional District and City of Courtenay were the host local governments for the Vancouver Island pilot program. In total, participating Vancouver Island local governments represented some 250,000 people.
“The Vancouver Island pilot is the first step in building a regional team approach so that there will be a common understanding and consistent messaging regarding on-the-ground expectations for rainwater management and green infrastructure. The Learning Lunch Seminar Series is part of the implementation program for Beyond the Guidebook: The New Business As Usual,” stated Kim Stephens, speaking on behalf of the CAVI Leadership Team.
This provincial initiative builds on the foundation provided by Stormwater Planning: A Guidebook for British Columbia, published in 2002, and incorporates lessons learned over the past six years in moving from planning to action.
