Parks? Climate Action? Drinking Water? Waste? The RDN is looking for volunteers for advisory committees by Nov 4 https://rdn.bc.ca/board-appointments
Several RDN Board and committee meetings are upcoming as outlined below. Please see my Director Updates page for recent updates and activities.
By November 4th at 4 pm. The RDN is looking for volunteers for several advisory committees. It would be great to get Area B representation on more committees! I've included a list of opportunities below. More information about the committees and to apply, click here https://rdn.bc.ca/board-appointments
Area B Parks and Open Spaces Advisory Committee (POSAC): The Electoral Area B Parks and Open Space Advisory Committee will advise and provide information to the Electoral Area Services Committee (EASC) through to the RDN Board regarding parks and open space issues in Electoral Area B.
Agricultural Advisory Committee: The role of the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) is to increase awareness of agricultural issues in the RDN, assist in the implementation of the RDN Agricultural Area Plan (AAP) and other agricultural related initiatives, and provide local perspective and expertise to advise the Regional Board on a range of agricultural issues on an ongoing and as needed basis as directed by the Board.
Drinking Water and Watershed Protection (DWWP) Technical Advisory Committee: The primary role of the Drinking Water & Watershed Protection Technical Advisory Committee (DWWP-TAC) is to advise staff and the Board on the implementation and review of the Drinking Water and Watershed Protection Service.
Liquid Waste Management Plan Monitoring Committee: While the responsibility for the management of the Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP) ultimately rests with the RDN Board of Directors, the Province requires that a monitoring committee oversees LWMP implementation.
Solid Waste Management Plan Monitoring Advisory Committee: The Solid Waste Management Plan Monitoring Advisory Committee (PMAC) will provide input, from a variety of perspectives, on the implementation of the Solid Waste Management Plan (Plan). In accordance with the Ministry of Environment’s Guide to the Preparation of Regional Solid Waste Management Plans a single public and technical advisory committee will act as a “sounding board” of community interests and will provide advice to the Regional Board through the Solid Waste Management Select Committee.
Climate Action Technical Advisory Committee: The Climate Action Technical Advisory Committee (CATAC) will provide advice and recommendations to the RDN Board on specific issues emerging or foreseen as having potential local impacts of global climate change.
All Board, EASC, and Committee of the Whole meetings can be viewed in person or online at https://rdn.bc.ca/agendas-minutes-videos (click on the date and the meeting. The video appears just before the meeting starts or can be viewed afterwards).
