GEORGIA BASIN INTER-REGIONAL EDUCATION INITIATIVE: “Local governments need ‘real numbers’ to deliver outcomes. Getting it right starts with recognition that hydrology is the engine that powers ecological services,” emphasized Kim Stephens when he updated Metro Vancouver elected representatives (Sept 2018)
“On behalf of the Metro Vancouver Utilities Committee, I invited Kim Stephens to provide us with an update on inter-regional collaboration through the participation of five regional districts in the Georgia Basin Inter-Regional Education Initiative,” stated Mayor Darrell Mussatto, Chair. In 2017-2018, federal-provincial funding enabled the Partnership to move forward with three parallel initiatives that have further strengthened the ‘twin pillars’ of the IREI.
