Join the Community Liaison Committee
The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) is looking for 2-5 community members to join the Community Liaison Committee (CLC). The CLC is a working group of local business leaders, community leaders and community members who meet and share information, ask questions, identify concerns and provide input on GVHA projects and activities.
The Community Liaison Committee works on continuous improvements and triple-bottom line sustainability throughout GVHA operations. We work with a group of local business leaders, community leaders, and members of the community on issues brought forward by any member, resulting in solutions-focused outcomes and timelines.
The CLC meets every two months virtually, and sub-committees (Transportation, Community Engagement, Visitor Economy) work together to make recommendations or look into concerns from the community. Members provide feedback for GVHA to consider in response to issues brought forward.
To join the CLC committee as a member at large, please complete this form.
