Board Policies

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Metro Vancouver Regional District (MVRD), Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation (MVHC), Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD), and Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (GVS&DD) are each governed by a separate Board of Directors. Each Board is responsible for adopting its own policies. Polices fall under one of eight sub-categories: Finance (FN), Governance (GV), Housing (HO), Human Resources (HR), Health and Safety (HS), Information Technology (IT), Parks (PK), and Utilities (UT). A policy is a plan of action, set of statements of principle, values, or intent that outlines expectations and guides the decision-making process. Policies define the goals of an organization, provide guidance on how to achieve objectives, and establish consistent standards.

To find a Board policy:

  • Search by keyword. For example: “Regional Parks” or “Procurement”.
  • Search by policy number. For example, “UT-017”.
  • Search by using the filters located on the right-hand side of this webpage​​.

Policies may also be available on individual department webpages on the Metro Vancouver website.

If you have questions about Metro Vancouver policies, please contact Board and Information Services at ​BIS-Secretariat@metrovancouver.org​​.
