About SRD Board
 

The SRD Board has 14 directors, which includes:

• Nine municipal directors, first elected to a municipal council by municipal voters and then appointed by council to the Regional District board for a maximum term of four years at the discretion of their councils
• A treaty First Nations director appointed by the Treaty First Nation

Annually, the Board elects its Chair. The Chair then establishes committees to deal with issues such as land use planning, the provision of services to member jurisdictions and matters of governance.

Director remuneration refers to the compensation or payment that Strathcona Regional District Board Members receive for their work, responsibilities and meeting attendance while serving the public. Remuneration for members of the Board is paid in accordance with Bylaw No. 167 – Director Compensation Bylaw. Remuneration is adjusted annually to reflect cost of living changes.
