Economic Sustainability

Our Region's Status

Residents of the CRD have historically enjoyed a high standard of living. Government, tourism, health and education sectors continue to underpin the economy and knowledge based businesses are creating exciting new opportunities.

Looking to the future, how do we ensure the continuing health of the economy? Will more diversification and advanced manufacturing reduce reliance on publicly funded services? What can the CRD and municipalities do to set the stage for long term business competitiveness and grow the "green economy"?
