| Mayne Island Improvement District | What is an Improvement District? |
| “Elected local government individually set up in the past by the BC Government so that unorganized territories could provide themselves with specific municipal-like services and functions” | |
| Dwelling Protection Grade (DPG) | What is the DPG system? |
| One of the fire
insurance classifications we establish and convey to FUS member
companies is the Dwelling Protection Grade. The D.P.G. is a
numerical system scaled from 1 to 5. One (1) is the highest
grading possible and 5 indicates little or no recognized public
fire protection. This grading reflects the ability of a
community to handle fires in small buildings (e.g. single family
dwellings).
