CBT will also support pilot planning efforts in the Basin that incorporate the use of information.
An invitation has been extended to municipalities, regional districts, not-for-profit organizations and other groups to submit a project proposal related to information-supported planning that aligns with existing priorities established by CBT. The pilots will encourage the use of information in planning and generate learning to inform future planning efforts.
