About
The BC Branch was incorporated in 1994 after many years of informal operation and currently has over 200 members. The branch is very active and is managed by 20 directors, who are mostly residents of the Lower Mainland, but include representatives from Vancouver Island and the Interior.
The Branch publishes its own newsletter ‘Runoff’ and provides input into water resources policies and issues on both provincial and federal levels. It holds many seminars and workshops each year throughout BC, with the majority of the events in the Vancouver area and other major centres. The Branch also organizes conferences on water resources issues that are at the forefront of society and British Columbia.
