Governance is the set of principles and processes that direct and control Columbia Power Corporation. Governance includes:

• the relationship between the CPC Board of Directors, CPC management, the Columbia Basin Trust, CPC stakeholders (Columbia Basin residents) and the CPC shareholder (the Province),
• the division of responsibilities between the Board of Directors, management, residents and the shareholder, and
• the execution of responsibilities related to CPC.

In order to carry out its mission and remain an accountable organization, CPC establishes and follows sound governance principles and processes. The Board of Directors is committed to effective and responsible governance.
