About the Project

The Fraser Valley is growing fast and we need an updated strategy that works for everyone. The FVRD is updating its Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) to reflect new legislation, growing relationships with Indigenous communities, and new challenges facing the region.

Fraser Valley Future 2050 is a high-level policy plan to help guide long-term growth in the region. It covers a wide range of topics, all of which are interconnected, and considers transit, housing, parks, and natural areas, economic development, and environmental issues from a regional perspective.

Regional districts use monitoring programs as part of RGS implementation. The 2023 RGS Monitoring Report and RGS Monitoring website provide important information and context through the evaluation of over thirty indicators based on RGS goals and policies.


What We Heard

From August 3 to October 8, 2021, the FVRD heard from almost 400 residents, employees, business owners, and visitors as part of the public engagement for Phase 2 of the Regional Growth Strategy update, Fraser Valley Future 2050. Check out the public engagement results in this report.

Engagement for this project on Have Your Say has now concluded. However, additional comments, feedback, or ideas related to the draft RGS can be sent by email to stratplan@fvrd.ca


What’s Next?

A third reading and the adoption of “Fraser Valley Future 2050” is expected in spring 2024, following a 60-day referral period for affected local governments (member municipalities and neighbouring regional districts).
