Non-profit organization in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) is a not-for-profit organization operating in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It was created in 2002 to own and operate several marine and upland properties in Victoria Harbour on their divestiture from the Government of Canada.[1]
GVHA owns and operates the Ogden Point deep-water terminal, which is visited by more than 260 cruise ships with totaling over 700,000 passengers ships each summer.[2] The authority also operates Fisherman’s Wharf, several marinas,[3] the Lower Causeway[4] and Ship Point yacht facility in Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
The Authority serves several purposes. As well as efficient administration of divested former federal properties, it provides an opportunity for First Nations to have a say and to participate in the harbour economy.[5]
The GVHA also promotes sustainable environmental practices on water and foreshore.[5] In 2011, the authority joined Green Marine, an organization which promotes environmental awareness in the shipping industry.[6]
