Advocacy Strategy

The Board is committed to advocating in a consistent, focused way that aligns with the strategic priorities and influences issues important to the region and the people who live here.

Where the Capital Regional District (CRD) does not have a direct service mandate, the Board can advocate on behalf of the CRD. This may include advocating for infrastructure as well as regulatory, legislative, financial and operational support from federal and provincial government partners.

Regional Priorities

The CRD Board Priorities set the direction for the 2023-2026 term and represent the risks, opportunities and problems that need to be solved through collaboration for the benefit of the region. Each of these priorities has actions the CRD can advance directly as part of its mandate as well as areas that require action from other governments and partners to fully pursue opportunities and address challenges.

  • Transportation
  • Housing
  • Climate Action & Environment
  • First Nations
  • Governance

Advocacy efforts include Board resolutions and statements, face to face meetings, presentations, partnerships and correspondence. For a summary of activity and progress to date, please read:
