Dear Greg

Announcing a New Name for CAVI: The Partnership on Vancouver Island

It is no surprise that water is facing interesting and challenging times. As we experience longer, drier summerseasons and warmer, wetter winter seasons we are reminded of the "new normal". Climate change mitigationstrategies must acknowledge that the change is as much about water as it is about carbon. Perhaps more so sincewe can relate intimately with water. Understanding the importance of water in the bigger picture of climatechange requires vision for the future.

After more than a decade of setting foundations for balancing economy, ecology and settlement, CAVI(Convening for Action on Vancouver Island) has a new name. Now known as The Partnership on VancouverIsland - Leadership in Water Sustainability, we plan to continue our liaison with senior and local governments,the development and academic communities, and others, to promote the message of water centric thinking andwater sustainability. Operating under the umbrella of The Partnership for Water Sustainability in BritishColumbia, The Partnership on Vancouver Island will build on CAVI's successful model of cooperation andcollaboration. The Partnership's actions and success have attracted attention on a global level.

Attached is a recent news release about The Partnership on Vancouver Island. Expanding on the SustainableWatershed Systems through Asset Management theme, our VI2065 initiative would help set the course forVancouver Island to achieve a water-resilient future over the next 50 years. Through VI2065 we can movecooperatively and collaboratively towards effective integration and stewardship of land and water resources.

Check out an upcoming flagship event by the Partnership: Flow and Grow! Balancing Economy, Ecology andSettlement in the Okanagan. Headlined by CBC's Bob McDonald (Quirks & Quarks), this November workshopwill explore the water nexus that is fast approaching and how collaboration can support practitioners anddecision makers to take action at a local level. Program details are available athtto:llwaterbucket.calcfal.

We welcome your participation in The Partnership on Vancouver Island and the V12065 initiative as we worktogether towards building a water sustainable future for Vancouver Island. Please share this information withappropriate staff in your organization. As the initiative evolves, we will update you on our progress.

*CAVI" is moving forward under a new name -The Paftnership on Vancouver Island:

Leadership in Water Sustainability

In zoo5, Eric Bonham championed a uisionfor building a communications nettuork to address issuesfacingthe uater and wasteuater industry on Vancouuer Island. In May z006, the embryo "Meeting of the Minds"initiatiue morphed into CAW-Conuening for Action on Vancouuer Island. The CAW uision is economg,ecology and settlement in balance. A decade later, on the anniuersary of the transformational "Meeting ofthe Minds" euent (May zoo6), the leadership trio of Eric Bonham, CAW Past-Chair (zoo6-zott) John Finnieand current CAW Chair (zott-zot6) Derek Richmond reflect on the journey so far and what is yet to come.

When one thinks of a cathedral two aspects come to mind: a soaringaspiration; and a grounded structure firmly planted throughout time. rl

CAVI - in the beginning......"lt started with a conversation," recalls John Finnie. "ln 2005 â group of similarthinking individuals, recognizing a need to balance economy and ecology with theincreasing settlement on Vancouver lsland, and the critical importance of water inthat equation, gathered in Parksville to have a conversation about watersustainability on Vancouver lsland. Within a year, that initial meeting evolved intoa movement, Convening for Action on Vancouver lsland - Leadership forWater Sustainabilify, known widely by the acronym CAV|."

"CAVI set a goal that Vancouver lsland would be well on its way to watersustainability by 2010. Since that initial meeting in 2005, CAVI has successfullypromoted the message of water sustainability by engaging governments,developers and the community in water-centric thinking, planning anddevelopment activities. "

"We exceecled o¡-¡r" own expectations. Water srlstainabilit,v became a commonthread in discussions and decisions about land development, water use and waterconservation."

Gathedral Thinking"There is much yet to be done but CAVI's approach is like Cathedral Thinking - anidea that takes time to evolve and establish, and ends up benefitting futuregenerations," continues Derek Richmond. "lt is not so much what we do but whatwe cause to happen that matters."

"Water-centric thinking, planning and doing have become more than a vision. Theyare a reality on Vancouver lsland and elsewhere in BC. CAVI was a driver in thisaccomplishment and demonstrated what can be done through partnerships andcollaboration."

"Now, our challenge is to get the right cornerstone firmly set in the right place forthe next levels of the initiative."

The Vl 2065 Vision"The future of Vancouver lsland calls for Cathedral Thinking to create a vision thatis inspirational, pragmatic, and based on a strong foundation," explains EricBonham. "Planners, engineers, politicians and citizens will be collectivelychallenged to focus on water-resilient outcomes against a backdrop of anunpredictable water cycle. Achieving consensus in this situation emphasizes a

commitment to collaboration based upon cooperation and partnerships acrossinstitutional and political boundaries."

"The Vl2065 initiative envisions a Vancouver lsland based on long-termsustainability and water reslliency models that involve innovative partnerships.The results guide us towards effective land and water management practices.Water is an entrance point for the discussion on climate change, for the connectionon this complex issue is clearly understood in light of the increase in floods anddrouqhts."
