| Abstract/Description or Keywords | The following discussion paper focuses on exploring success factors that support collaborative watershed governance as well as collaborative watershed governance organizations currently active throughout the Province of BC. This project builds on a diversity of work initiated in 2008 including a series of workshops on watershed governance across BC, the development of the Collaborative Watershed Governance Accord and research on a potential collaborative watershed governance guidance document. Fraser Basin Council also has a long history of facilitating, coordinating and supporting collaborative watershed governance activities on the ground. With funding from the BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF), FBC has collated this experience and knowledge to add to the conversation of how collaborative watershed governance approaches can be implemented to fulfill the provisions for alternative governance arrangements, which may be enabled through the Water Sustainability Act. |
