Is the Fraser Basin Council a government program?
The Fraser Basin Council is not a government program; it is a not-for-profit, charitable organization consisting of a public/private sector partnership that includes four orders of government in its management structure. Like many other not-for-profit organizations, funding for the Council primarily comes from the federal, provincial, and local governments. The Council’s Board of Directors includes 14 representatives from federal, provincial, and local governments, and 8 from First Nations (considered by the Council to be another order of government). As a non-partisan, non-governmental organization, the Council works towards solutions that incorporate and balance both governmental and non-governmental interests.
