The Capital Regional District (CRD) serves 13 municipalities and three electoral areas. Electoral areas are communities outside municipal boundaries, often referred to as rural or unincorporated areas. As a regional district, the CRD is responsible for administration and delivery of local services in the Juan de Fuca, Salt Spring Island and Southern Gulf Islands electoral areas.
Residents only pay for services provided to their specific area. This may include a mix of local services (within one electoral area) and broader services offered at the regional and sub-regional level.
