How we did in 2022

✔ Phase 2 Integrated Storm Water Management Plan was completed for Howe Sound and Stawamus River watersheds.

✔ $400k grant received from Strategic Priorities Fund/Canada Community-Building Fund for Phase 3 of the Integrated Storm Water Management Plan (Brackendale and Garibaldi Estates). The project will kick off in 2023.

✔ Asset Management Plan was endorsed; identifies what assets the District owns (i.e. underground infrastructure, parks, equipment, roads), what they are worth ($883M), when they need to be replaced, and how that will be funded.

✔ The District’s first Natural Asset Management Strategy was endorsed; identifies natural assets (valued at $1.6B) that support community services (e.g. Ring Creek Aquifer that provides drinking water, and wetlands and creeks that collect and convey stormwater), and outlines a plan to preserve them.

✔ Open Data system architecture was improved to integrate into newly implemented District technology systems. Public facing dashboards were created for business licensing and building permits, populated through automation that pulls data directly from Open Data databases.

✔ Open data site saw 3,000 unique visitors with over 16,000 page views in 2022. Open data supports business activity at the District, external agencies and commercial businesses.
