scrd

Scrd refers to the Sunshine Coast Regional District, a regional district in British Columbia, Canada. It covers the rural and coastal areas on the northern portion of the Sunshine Coast, including Sechelt and surrounding communities. The regional district provides local governance and delivers services that cross municipal boundaries, often in cooperation with member municipalities such as Sechelt and Gibsons and with rural communities that are not incorporated as municipalities.

The SCRD’s governing body is the board of directors, composed of representatives elected from the electoral areas and the municipalities within the region. The board establishes budgets, bylaws, and service agreements for regional facilities and services, and it coordinates planning and service delivery across the district’s boundaries. The headquarters are located in Sechelt.

Key services typically delivered by regional districts in British Columbia include regional planning and development, solid waste management, parks and recreation, library services, emergency programs, fire protection, and utility coordination such as water or sewer services in unincorporated areas. The SCRD also maintains outdoor spaces and cultural facilities, supports community economic development, and acts on environmental stewardship and emergency preparedness. In addition to providing these services, the SCRD collaborates with provincial authorities and local communities to manage growth and sustain the region’s quality of life.
