Environment

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary is a great home for people and it needs to remain a great home for all the organisms we share it with - on land, in the water and in the air.

This is why we’ve made Environmental Stewardship/Climate Preparedness a priority in our Strategic Plan. 

We are committed to converting to more renewable forms of energy, to managing impacts of climate change, and focusing on “zero waste” initiatives for sustainability:

• A Corporate Climate and Energy program to reduce our carbon footprint
• Sustainable waste management programs toward zero waste
• Watershed planning
• Mosquito control programs using methods having the least possible impact on the ecosystem
• An invasive species program to control Eurasian Milfoil at Christina Lake 
• Invasive species programs in partnership with the Boundary Invasive Species Society, Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society and BC Invasives.
