Communications

About 

The Communications Department supports the Regional District in delivering clear, consistent, and accessible information to residents, member municipalities, Electoral Areas, and regional partners. Our role is to ensure communities across the region are informed about services, programs, projects, and Board decisions that affect their daily lives.

We coordinate media relations, public notices, and digital communications, including website content and social media, to share timely and accurate information. The department also supports public engagement by promoting opportunities for residents to provide input and participate in regional decision-making.

Given the diverse and often rural nature of regional districts, we focus on inclusive and accessible communication approaches that reach all communities. We also provide internal communications support and assist with emergency and crisis messaging when needed.

Through transparent and effective communication, we help strengthen connections across the region and support informed, engaged communities.
