Our Region

The Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) is a regional government under British Columbia’s Local Government Act. Incorporated in 1968, the CCRD serves a population of less than 4,000 residents and provides local and regional protective, recreational, environmental, and transportation services to area ratepayers.

The CCRD’s electoral area boundaries encompass and area of 24,000 square kilometres nestled in the heart of BC’s central coast. Home to a vast temperate rainforest rich in biodiversity and wildlife, endless Pacific Ocean coastline, inlets, and islands, towering glacial mountains, and pristine watersheds, the Central Coast constitutes some of the world´s most spectacular and untouched scenery and natural beauty, and is teeming with rich biodiversity and wildlife.
