RE: Green Shores Local Government Working Group 
         July 26, 2016 
Dear Aleks,    
 
Please accept this letter of introduction regarding our Green Shores 2016 -2019 program and 
the Green Shores Local Government Working Group. SCBC has received funding from the Real 
Estate Foundation BC for three years of funding starting in July 2016. As such, the Stewardship 
Centre is currently inviting select shoreline communities to participate in our Local Government 
Working Group for intake in 2017 and 2018. 
 
As you may recall, the Stewardship Centre for British Columbia Society (SCBC) is a registered 
not-for-profit organization (#S: 50468) based in British Columbia. Our vision is that all British 
Columbians understand, enjoy, and sustain healthy ecosystems through stewardship action.  
Our programs and projects focus on establishing effective land and water management that 
protects ecosystems and encourages ecosystem resilience. One of our key initiatives is the 
Green Shores program.  
 
As an alternative to hard amouring solutions, like seawalls, to climate change and shoreline 
erosion concerns, Green Shores (GS) provides tools for local governments; planning, design, 
construction professionals; and shoreline property owners interested in minimizing the 
environmental impacts of their projects in a shore and people-friendly, cost effective manner.
