HOW OUR INSTITUTIONS, PUBLIC POLICIES, SOCIAL STRUCTURES, AND SYSTEMS CREATE BELONGING OR BARRIERS here do you belong? Do you feel you belong in Victoria? Are you able to afford life here? Can you get around? How do you connect with your community and take Wpart in activities that enrich your life and the lives of others? Are you treated with respect and included regardless of your age, skin colour, gender identity, physical abilities, or socioeconomic status? Belonging is about feeling like an accepted and valued part of a community. In its national 2016 report, Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) defined belonging as “being part of a collective we. It’s a two-way street: It’s about communities sending signals of acceptance and inclusion, and about individuals cultivating their own connections to community.” The more we get involved in the community as active participants, then, the more we feel like we belong — but that involvement is easier for some than others. Last year, Victoria’s Vital Signs® looked at what belonging is, and why it matters to people living in Greater Victoria. We focused on a few key groups who historically have struggled harder to feel included: Aboriginal people, seniors, youth, and new immigrants. But there are other groups who struggle, too: people barely scraping by on low incomes, people who live with disabilities, people whose gender identity positions them outside the mainstream. While inclusion begins with the individuals within a society — within the hearts and victoriafoundation.ca 5 minds of the humans therein — it’s often the initiatives, such as setting aside traditional institutions and social structures that dictate the Lekwungen lands in Beacon Hill Park for re- speed, depth, and strength of that inclusiveness. burial of First Nations remains and construction It’s great if the community feels new immigrants of a longhouse.

TD227.B7K46 2004 333.91’04’0971128 C2004-960175-X Executive summary This project focussed on the delineation and classification of developed aquifers within the Capital Regional District of British Columbia (CRD). The goal was to identify and map water-bearing unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers in the region, and to classify the mapped aquifers according to the methodology outlined in the B.C. Aquifer Classification System (Kreye and Wei, 1994). The project began in summer 2003 with the mapping and classification of aquifers in Sooke, and on the Saanich Peninsula. Aquifers in the remaining portion of the CRD including Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, District of Highlands, the Western Communities, Metchosin and Port Renfrew were mapped and classified in summer 2004. The presence of unconsolidated deposits within the CRD is attributed to glacial activity within the region over the last 20,000 years. Glacial and glaciofluvial modification of the landscape has resulted in the presence of significant water bearing deposits, formed from the sands and gravels of Capilano Sediments, Quadra and Cowichan Head Formations.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    Greater Victoria Drinking Water Quality 2019 Annual Report Parks & Environmental Services Department Environmental Protection Prepared By Water Quality Program Capital Regional District 479 Island Highway, Victoria, BC, V9B 1H7 T: 250.474.9680 F: 250.474.9691 www.crd.bc.ca May 2020 Greater Victoria Drinking Water Quality 2019 Annual Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides the annual overview of Capital Regional District (CRD) Water Quality Monitoring program and its results on water quality in 2019 within the Greater Victoria Drinking Water System (GVDWS) and its individual system components (Map 1). The results indicate that Greater Victoria’s drinking water continues to be of good quality and is safe to drink. The monitoring program is designed to meet the requirements of the provincial regulatory framework, which is defined by the BC Drinking Water Protection Act and Drinking Water Protection Regulation, and follow the federal guidelines for drinking water quality. The approximately 11,000 hectares of the Sooke and Goldstream watersheds comprise the source of our regional drinking water supply area. Water flows from the reservoirs to the Sooke and Goldstream (formerly called Japan Gulch) water treatment plants and then through large-diameter transmission mains and a number of storage reservoirs into eight different distribution systems, which in turn deliver the drinking water to the consumers. The monitoring program covers the entire system to anticipate any issues (i.e., source water monitoring), ensure treatment is effective (i.e., monitoring at the treatment facilities), and confirm a safe conveyance of the treated water to customers (i.e., transmission and distribution system monitoring).
