Our Work in the RegionsMany sustainability issues in BC today are first experienced, and best understood, close to home. FBC RegionsTo support local efforts for sustainability, the Fraser Basin Council has a regional committee and office in each of five regions of the Fraser Basin, as well as an office on Vancouver Island. We are honoured to be part of many initiatives that involve residents, regional and municipal governments, First Nations, businesses and community groups.
