The EOCP Presents its Corporate Recognition Award to Integrated Water Services at the Capital Regional District

BURNABY, British Columbia - Oct. 6, 2020 - PRLog -- With its team of 80 certified Environmental Operators, Integrated Water Services at the Capital Regional District has EOCP designations, experience, and training requirements embedded in union job descriptions.  The Integrated Water Services' Utility Operator program is developed with the Operator recruitment and retention in mind and is structured so that Operators mentor each other and work in a team environment.

In addition, staff from Water Quality, Engineering, Environmental Services, Fire Departments, and private sector groups work together as Strategic Alliance Partners.  Of course, providing support are also other departments such as Human Resources, Engineering, Fleet, Billing, Senior Management, and Water Commissions.

This type of collaborative effort shows a commitment to public health and the environment, and deserves special recognition, and the EOCP Awards Committee is delighted to present the EOCP's 2020 Corporate Recognition Award to Integrated Water Services at the Capital Regional District.

The EOCP (www.eocp.ca) was the first organization in Canada to implement an Operator certification and facility classification program in Canada in an effort to better protect public health and the environment.  Fifty-four years later, the EOCP continues to grow, work with its stakeholders, and evolve, ensuring that the needs of Operators and employers are met.

The EOCP's membership provides safe drinking water and wastewater management to more than 4.2 million people across British Columbia and Yukon.
