Company Profile

Company Description:

The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) is one of 28 regional districts formed
by the Province of British Columbia to provide local government services to
unincorporated areas. Most of BC’s territory consists of rural areas outside
municipal boundaries. Regional districts provide rural residents with an
effective form of local government while also representing municipal residents
on regional issues.

The RDEK functions as a partnership of the municipalities and electoral areas
(unincorporated areas) within its boundaries. These local governments work
together through the RDEK to provide and coordinate services in both urban and
rural areas. Regional districts are governed by the Local Government Act
and other provincial legislation.
