Regional Context
The 2021 and 2025 flood events across British Columbia exposed the vulnerability of these critical corridors, halting the movement of people, energy, and goods.
The resulting highway closures are estimated to have cost the Canadian economy between $10.6 billion and $17.1 billion, underscoring the far-reaching impacts of prolonged transportation disruptions.

WCCRP
Frequently Asked Questions
Participation in the WCCRP helps strengthen a collective regional voice focused on infrastructure resiliency, economic stability, and public safety.
What is the WCCRP?
The West Coast Corridor Resiliency Partnership (WCCRP) is a regional collaboration between Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Merritt, and Princeton focused on raising awareness about vulnerabilities within critical transportation, energy, and food supply corridors impacted by climate-related disasters.
Why was the WCCRP created?
The WCCRP was formed following major climate-related disasters, including the 2021 and 2025 floods, which exposed significant gaps in BC’s transportation and supply chain networks.
The partnership is working together to elevate awareness of these economic vulnerabilities and advocate for greater federal attention and support.
Why does this matter to Canadians?
These corridors connect communities, move goods across Canada, support international trade, and help protect food and energy systems. Investing in resiliency helps reduce disruptions, economic losses, and risks to public safety.
What is the goal of the WCCRP?
The WCCRP is working to raise awareness at the federal level about critical infrastructure funding gaps impacting BC’s transportation, energy, food supply, and flood resiliency systems.
By working together as a regional partnership, participating communities are advocating for long-term investments that strengthen economic stability, public safety, and climate resilience across Canada.
How can organizations support the WCCRP?
Organizations, businesses, and community partners can support the initiative by providing Letters of Support, sharing awareness, and advocating for long-term infrastructure investments that strengthen regional resiliency.
