Fraser Valley – Regional initiative calls for coordinated investment in economic resilience, transportation security, and flood mitigation infrastructure across British Columbia.
The communities of Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Merritt, and Princeton are proud to
formally announce the creation of the West Coast Corridor Resiliency Partnership (WCCRP),
a coordinated regional initiative focused on advancing critical resiliency infrastructure
investments across Southern British Columbia.
The WCCRP brings together communities connected by key transportation, energy,
agriculture, and trade corridors that were significantly impacted during the atmospheric
river events of November 2021 and December of 2025. Together, these communities are
advocating for long-term investments that strengthen public safety, protect economic
stability, and improve the resilience of nationally significant infrastructure systems.
The partnership is focused on identifying and advancing flood mitigation and climate
adaptation infrastructure projects that support:
Agricultural and food security transportation
The WCCRP initiative comes ahead of the upcoming Federation of Canadian Municipalities
(FCM) Conference, where participating communities will continue collaborative discussions
and strategic engagement efforts with municipal, provincial, and federal leaders.
