What is the history of the Fraser Basin Council?
The Fraser Basin Council was established as a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization in 1997. The Council’s predecessor, the Fraser Basin Management Board, was created by the federal, provincial and local governments to address sustainability issues and develop a strategic plan for the sustainability of the Fraser Basin. The Board created a draft Basin Plan, and circulated it for input. Using the input they received, the Board developed the Charter for Sustainability, the strategic plan for the Fraser Basin. It is this strategic plan that guides the actions of the Fraser Basin Council.
