Evolution of regional governance in British Columbia with special focus on the Metro Vancouver area
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
While the regional district concept of governance in British Columbia was formally introduced by legislation in 1965, it had the benefit of precursors such as the improvement district and community planning area frameworks initiated in 1920's and 1940's, respectively.A deeper examination of references provides evidence of inter-municipal agreements dating back to the early 1900's where adjacent communities pooled resources to secure basic municipal utilities.Interestingly, those basic utilities such as water supply, wastewater collection, transit services provided today by the government sector, were started by private enterprises that have long been forgotten.The motivation for inter-municipal collaboration started with the geographic location of communities in relation to the source of the resource such as water.A single utility system servicing a multiple number of communities permitted pooling of funds to establish, operate, and deliver quality services that could not be afforded or made possible by a single municipality alone.All participating communities in the utility service would benefit from efficiencies yielded by the economy of scale.While the "urban" areas formed alliances to build public utilities, the rural areas were largely unincorporated and in the absence of a local government, the province acted as the municipal government.The burden of providing local government services by the province motivated their work to find alternate government structures to which it could delegate its local responsibility.Improvement districts and community planning areas were precursors to the regional district model and had mixed successes.The desire by the province was to formulate a model that would provide communities in a broader region, general government authority.Recognizing that a "bottom-up" rather than a "top-down" approach to introducing an alternate forms of governance, the Honourable Minister Dan Campbell and Deputy Minister Everett Brown led a consultative process and developed regional district legislation in 1965.A key principle inherent in the legislation is for the provincial government to delegate significant authority to regional districts that brings decision-making closer to the issues.The regional district framework is just that -a framework on which communities can build the type of regional district they want by choosing the functions to include.However, as much as regional districts have enjoyed successful implementation, there have been issues relating to the balance of power between the provincial government and regional government, particularly on the transportation issue in the Metro Vancouver area.Linked with this will be ensuring strong accountability in the face of decision-making boards comprised of non-elected officials.For Metro Vancouver, future issues will become more complex, will be broader in scope, will involve a greater number of stakeholders.The regional district framework recognizes that singular municipalities can not address the service needs of the broader community.Regional district governments formed within the local government structure have bridged the gap between municipalities and the broader community, without creating another level of government.Regional districts are by design, collaborative structures where the scope of their mandates are largely determined by the membership it serves and a regional district's fundamental process is to facilitate participative decision-making for the betterment of the broader community.A key question for Metro Vancouver is, whether its issues are too big to handle within the regional district framework or could the same model be evolved to accommodate its needs?While the identification and evaluation of alternative regional governance structures will be the topic of subsequent studies, this paper should provide a solid foundation of B.C.'s regional governance history for future work.
