CVRD does not look after rural roads, but we are happy to advocate on your behalf.
Arzeena Hamir, Director Comox Valley Area B
Please note that the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) has no jurisdiction over roads or ditches (including snow removal) in the rural areas. This falls under the author...Over the past year Hornby and Denman have collaborated to bring high speed internet to the islands. CVRD has been supporting the effort. Here’s a video to give a flavour of the project: m.youtube.com/watch?v=bXrj9ngmEok&feature=youtu.beyoutube.com
Bravo, Zsofin Sheehy, on this terrific little film!!
If we have fibre optic cable on Denman, why can’t we get it to all households? 🤔
Very good.

The 2020 CVRD Board - each year municipalities have the opportunity to appoint different elected officials. Welcome to Will Cole-Hamilton who replaces Mayor Bob Wells on the board!
Area B Director Arzeena Hamir has gotten her electric vehicle! 4 out of 10 CVRD Directors have now joined the zero emissions revolution!
Nice Arzeena! I received my BC scrap-it certificate today & hope to have my Leaf shortly.
What is the possible future for Union Bay? Before the holidays I had a long sit down interview with Ryan Suart, writer for the CV Collective and resident of Royston. He said he wanted to do a very different piece on the future of the area (Thanks to Meaghan Cursons for the idea). Am so impressed by the result! Read it here, or grab a hard copy of the magazine in town. That will be a great piece to read again in 2050.

The average resident produces more than 1,200 pounds of garbage each year. We have a plan to get 30% of it out of the landfill. Lose 500 pounds easy!
Congrats to the Hornby Island Arts Council on continuing to stack funding for their major Arts Centre capital project.

The Hornby Island Arts Council is receiving $250,000 for the construction of a new ‘Art Centre’ building.
Bravo. Great news. Thanks to all who worked on this. You’ve done an amazing job.
Hey! Guess they've got an ear to the ground at the Comox Valley Record. You Daniel, HICEEC, ICET, and the CVRD have demonstrated to big arts and culture funders like these that Hornby, our District, and our Region take investment in the arts absolutely seriously, know the returns on investment, and that this project warrants the trust of the province and federal government. That's big. Thanks for having and driving the vision!
Congratulations HIAC and Daniel your support at HICEEC and the CVRD has been instrumental in leveraging funds, from so many sources!
Congrats to all who have worked so hard and long on this project.
Hooray
This amazing constituent from Fanny Bay attended our two full CVRD meetings this week, including the marathon EASC session on Monday. Mike says he wanted to learn more about the CVRD and look for ways to better our communities. Thank you Mike Mesford for your civic engagement!
Very cool! Great job Mike and you too Daniel. So happy with your commitment to our area
Toxic drug streams are ravaging our communities. Its time to take the war on criminal drugs to the next level.
Arzeena Hamir, Director Comox Valley Area B
The CVRD voted last night to lobby the provincial government for a safe drug supply, to stop the poisoning of people in our community. This issue touches so many families and the stigma t...The climate situation is of utmost concern to the CVRD. Almost all global oil companies are also planning the transition, as is the auto sector. I know some are still dubious about the potential impacts of climate change in our communities - and that is why we need good, objective information.
