Biographical history
The Joint Dominion-Provincial Board, Fraser River Basin, was established in 1948 following a 1948 Fraser River flood that caused widespread damage, including the destruction of many dykes. The board consisted of representatives of the Federal and Provincial governments.
The purpose of the board was to “determine what developments and controls of the water and other resources of the Fraser River Water Shed in its judgement would be advisable, practicable, and in the public interests.” The board reviewed this in relation to
Domestic water supply, sanitation and pollution
Erosion and silting
Fisheries
Floods
Irrigation
Land management, navigation, reclamation of land subject to flooding
Water power
Wild life and recreation
Any other developments or controls that may be of public benefit.
The board acted as an investigatory body gathering the basic data missing from the then existing records.
The board consisted of representatives of the Federal and Provincial governments. It was later replaced by the Fraser River Board in 1955.
