This project identified sustainable funding and collaboration models to support long-term maintenance of Green Rainwater Infrastructure (GRI) in Vancouver's parks and roadways. Drawing on case studies from Victoria, Seattle, and Pittsburgh it evaluated tools such as utility fees, workforce partnerships, and nonprofit collaborations. The goal was to inform City planning with strategies that maintain GRI performance while advancing climate resilience, equity, and community stewardship.
