| abstract | With its $5 billion GDP contribution and 47,900 jobs, the watershed sector in BC is a significant driver of employment and economic activity in every corner of the province. The sector is primed for further growth over the next decade as demand for watershed security solutions rises. The Watershed Security Fund will be a critical catalyst to accelerate the sector’s growth, leverage additional investments, and multiply impacts. The forecasted benefits of a $100 million/year Fund investment over the next decade are significant: approximately 13,000 more jobs and an increase of $1.3 billion to provincial GDP. With innovative design and implementation, the Fund will be a cornerstone of the Province’s legacy in achieving economic recovery, supporting Indigenous economies and employment, and building a more prosperous future for all British Columbians. |
