Fast Facts

Three separate corporate entities operate under the name Metro Vancouver: the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD); the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) and the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (GVS&DD). As well, the Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation (MVHC) is a public housing corporation that is wholly owned by the GVRD.
The GVRD was incorporated by letters patent dated June 29, 1967 and its Board of Directors held its first meeting on July 12, 1967. At that time, there were 950,000 people living in the Lower Mainland. Today, that number has doubled to more than two million residents, and is expected to grow to 2.7 million by 2021.
