The Northwest Regional Services Commission (NWRSC)
The Northwest Regional Services Commission (NWRSC) we know today is an organization that continues the work of the pre-reform NWRSC with broader mandates and is overseen by a board of directors composed of the mayors of the new municipalities and a new rural district.
The transition period for this major reform of local governance is not over and will in fact continue for years to come, as integration takes place, trust is built, and the “new normal” becomes better understood.
Role of the Northwest Regional Services Commission
- Promote and facilitate planning and voluntary agreements between communities (infrastructure, facilities, services, etc.)
- Identify and resolve issues of common interest
- Strengthen collaboration
- Identify and facilitate opportunities to pool local capacities and share resources and costs
- Achieve efficiencies by further integrating services at the regional level
- Serve as a regional forum for collaboration among communities on regional issues.
