Regional Context Statements

A Regional Context Statement is the linking document that shows how a municipality’s aspirations, as expressed in its Official Community Plan, align with and support the regional vision, as expressed in Metro 2040. Every member jurisdiction must adopt a Regional Context Statement as part of its Official Community Plan and it must also be accepted by the Metro Vancouver Board.

Click on the name of the municipality below to view its Regional Context Statement, the associated Metro Vancouver staff report and the MVRD Board acceptance minutes.

Metro Vancouver acknowledges that the region’s residents live, work, and learn on the shared territories of many Indigenous peoples, including 10 local First Nations: Katzie, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem, Matsqui, Musqueam, Qayqayt, Semiahmoo, Squamish, Tsawwassen, and Tsleil-Waututh.

Metro Vancouver respects the diverse and distinct histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, which collectively enrich our lives and the region.
