The fonds consists of records created and compiled by the Victoria Sewage Treatment Alliance (VSTA) and document the organizations efforts to raise awareness about the need for sewage treatment in the greater Victoria area. The VSTA, formed in 2005, is a volunteer organization with the goal of attaining sustainable and affordable sewage treatment for Victoria and the Capital Regional District (CRD).

The records consist primarily of a collection of reports, meeting minutes, and media coverage, as well as some audiovisual materials and photographs. The involvement of Mr. Floatie, the highly visible mascot of the campaign, is well documented in the photographs.

The series consists of textual records created or collected by the VSTA. A large number of the records are meeting minutes, reports, or records otherwise documenting the activities of the Capital Regional District (CRD), and specifically the activities of the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee.

The series also contains records created to raise awareness about pollution risks of untreated sewage, such as petitions, letter-writing campaigns, and event planning (such as the Toilet Regatta). Events are further documented in series MS-3358: Photographs.
