Metro Vancouver Ecological Health Action Plan
Timeframe: Adopted in October 2011

In October 2011, the Metro Vancouver Board adopted the Ecological Health Action Plan which supports the protection and
enhancement of the region’s ecological systems in four opportunity areas: 1) advancing the regional green infrastructure
network 2) supporting Salmon in the Cities 3) supplementing ecosystem services and 4) reducing toxins. These four projects will
help strengthen regional resilience to climate change impacts by protecting important ecosystem services such rainwater
infiltration and retention, local food production, erosion control, and biodiversity protection.
