The KRSC - Kent Regional Service Commission

Who We Are

Regional Service Commissions (RSCs) are governed by their constituent communities and act as service delivery agents. They are not a separate level of government; decisions are made by the communities through representatives on the board of directors.

Mandate

The Kent Regional Services Commission (KRSC) plays three (3) major roles:

Providing, or facilitating the delivery of, legislated services to communities
Facilitating the establishment of voluntary service agreements between interested communities
Serving as a forum where communities collaborate on regional issues.

The Regional Service Delivery Act states that RSCs have two legislated mandatory responsibilities that they exercise individually and four that involve regional collaboration:

Local planning
Solid waste management
Regional planning
Collaboration on policing services
Emergency measures planning
Planning of regional recreational, cultural and sports infrastructure, and cost sharing of infrastructure

Owing to a dynamic Board and the leadership of its administrative team, the KRSC’s work extends beyond the six responsibilities set out in the Act.
