		Regional Parks Regional parks were created to provide outdoor recreational and educational opportunities across the region that weren't available in municipalities, and to ensure that significant natural landscape features of the region were protected.

	Case Study: Greater Vancouver Regional District (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Under the umbrella of the GVRD, there are four separate legal entities: the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD); the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (GVSandDD); the Greater Vancouver Housing Corporation (GVHC), and the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
		As, a result of aging infrastructure, the GVRD was faced with downtime due to the amount of time that it took to execute batch processes for their PeopleSoft implementation.
		Working with consultants from TELUS, the GVRD was able to complete the migration on schedule within a four-month period – with one month spent on the planning process and the other three on the actual migration to the new technology.

		The fact that the GVRD retained the draft at the end of the meeting did not alter the fact that, consistent with its author's intent, contents of the draft settlement offer were communicated to the applicant.
		That privilege protects from disclosure any communication between a client, or his or her lawyer, and a third party where the dominant purpose for which the communication came into existence was to prepare for, advise upon or conduct litigation that was under way or in reasonable prospect at the time the communication was created.
		The evidence establishes that the GVRD intended from the outset to disclose the record's contents to the applicant.

	INQUIRY REGARDING GREATER VANCOUVER REGIONAL DISTRICT RECORDS
		According to the GVRD's argument, if it gathers copies of collective agreements (all of which are public documents) and subjectively interprets and analyzes factual information from those agreements "for the sole purpose of use by negotiators in the collective agreement process and the administration of personnel", the resulting compilations are about labour negotiations under s.
		The 'Survey of 1996, 1997 and 1998 Trade and Labour Rates in the Greater Vancouver Region', which was "published" by the GVRD's Labour Relations Department in April of 1999, is silent on the question of confidentiality.
		The GVRD has not identified any third party whose interests could reasonably be expected to be harmed within the meaning of that section and has not provided evidence to support such a contention.

		But while Greater Vancouver's population has quadrupled since the main library was built in 1963, the building is still the same size as 40 years ago.

		This directive stems both from a dubious revision of the Greater Vancouver watersheds policy in 1967, known as the Amending Indenture, which the GVRD has still not addressed, and from provincial policy guidelines that mandate the multiple use of community water supplies, which you yourself once had a direct role in formulating.
		When forest ecology consultants for the Water District found that many of the 1992 candidate areas for logging did not reflect a revised rationale for logging, the contractor sued the Water District, a matter which was finally resolved in 1995, costing the taxpayers somewhere between one to two million dollars.
		It is time that managers of the GVRD become fully accountable to the public about their policies and proposals for the Greater Vancouver watersheds.

	Keeping The Taps Flowing In Vancouver - National Research Council Canada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Water authorities shut down the Capilano Reservoir-the source of 40 per cent of the region's water supplies-an average of 55 days per year, when heavy rains cause landslides that carry sediments into the reservoir, via swollen rivers and creeks.
		The higher the turbidity, the greater the health risk, so water authorities have no choice but to turn off the taps until levels decrease.
		The NRC-CHC contribution involves modeling the movement of water and sediment in the Capilano and two other reservoirs, while Environment Canada focuses on modeling the hydrology of the surrounding watersheds, and the supply of water, sediment and nutrients into the reservoirs.
