The Regional District
The Regional District is a partnership of municipalities, rural electoral areas and the shíshálh Nation Government District that collaboratively delivers services to the residents of the Sunshine Coast. It is made up of distinct small communities within the territories of the shíshálh and Swxwú7mesh Nations, each with their own identities and values, a shared love of this beautiful place, a wealth of cultural activities, a respect for history and an appreciation of the natural environment. Our vision is to support a healthy and vibrant Sunshine Coast with sustainable and affordable services and innovative partnerships, and our mission is to work together to deliver reliable services to these communities.
