Consultation has concluded
As of February 25, 2020 the updated RDN DWWP Action Plan (2020-2030) has been finalized and endorsed by the RDN Board. This webpage documents the update process that took place in 2019 to update the Plan. Thanks to all who engaged in the process!
We are all connected by water - it hydrates us, offers enjoyment and beauty, and provides vital habitat. It is important for culture and recreation. Water allows us to run our businesses, raise healthy families and grow our food. Freshwater is undoubtedly a part of our identity in this region.
Yet, our water faces challenges:
It's been 10 years since the RDN's Drinking Water and Watershed Protection (DWWP) program first began implementing its Board-approved regional Action Plan in 2009. The key focus areas of DWWP are water education & outreach, water science & monitoring and water planning & policy support. In 2019, it is time for the Action Plan to be updated to reflect current objectives, emerging areas of focus, updated priorities, and required resources for a refreshed program mandate for the next decade and beyond.
On this page you can participate in the Action Plan Update - share your vision for a sustainable water future in our region!
