What does Fraser Basin Council do?
The Council and its partners facilitate problem solving by bringing together the people necessary to make decisions and create solutions that balance social, economic, and environmental considerations. The solutions they help engineer are based on the needs of the whole Basin, rather than those of any single area, organization, or person. The Fraser Basin Council acts as a catalyst for solving inter-jurisdictional issues, as a conflict resolution agent, and as a sustainability educator. By bringing decision-makers together, the Council helps Basin residents use the Fraser River system and the lands it drains in socially, economically, and environmentally responsible ways.
