2007 Regional Comparisons

The BC Progress Board compares four areas within BC: Regional BC and three Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs): Vancouver, Victoria, and Abbotsford. The comparisons are made according to the same two subject areas as the inter-provincial comparisons. The Regional Indicators, however, vary somewhat from the Performance Indicators.
