Annual financial reports for the District of West Vancouver.

The District of West Vancouver (DWV) is participating in the provincial Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) to incent corporate greenhouse gas tracking and reduction.

The CARIP is a program that allows municipalities to recover the money spent each year on carbon tax related to fossil fuels such as gas for fleet vehicles and natural gas for heating buildings. 

To be eligible for this conditional grant, local governments are required to report publicly on their plan and progress toward meeting their climate action goals, the nearest being a 33% reduction by 2020. The reports listed below summarize both the yearly emissions and the actions undertaken by DWV to reduce corporate greenhouse gases.

The Community Dialogue on Neighbourhood Character and Housing Working Group guided a year-long consultation process, providing a forum for an in-depth discussion and debate on neighbourhood character and housing issues.

The Community Dialogue was a process of ‘people talking to people’ about the future of their neighbourhoods, and issues related to housing choice and affordability. The Working Group asked questions and listened to what residents had to say about the issues and possible actions for addressing them. The newsletters are part of that dialogue process.

In September 2008, the Working Group delivered their recommendations report to Council.
