FBC Today Our StructureThe Fraser Basin Council is a charitable non-profit organization devoted to advancing sustainability solutions and practices in the Fraser Basin and across BC. The Council has 38 Directors: an impartial Chairperson and 37 other Directors who represent the four orders of government — federal, provincial, local and First Nations — as well as the private sector and civil society. This governance structure is one of the first of its kind and a reflection of FBC’s commitment to collaboration. The FBC Directors set a strategic focus and policy for the Council and take into account principles of the Charter for Sustainability. Their decisions are by consensus. The Board is supported by a team of over 30 full and part-time staff in regional FBC offices.
