BURRARD CLEAN OPERATIONS/ WESTERN CANADA MARINE RESPONSE CORPORATION

Partnerships/Cooperation

WCMRC/BCO is committed to enhancing the cooperation and its partnerships with government agencies, marine businesses, mutual aid partners, and our ports and community representatives throughout the province. Although we feel we have made major progress in this area, we know there is still more to be done.

Cooperation and willingness of government, agency representatives and industry to work together to raise Canada's spill response preparedness is a must if we are to be successful in the mitigation of any oil spill.
