Nice to see the $120 million Water Treatment plant emerge out of the ground this morning. This project will ensure excellent water for generations to come for 45,000 people, and service K’omoks First Nation and part or Area A into the future!

Looking forward to keep serving on the Library executive. On the agenda this year is a 1.5 million reno to the Courtenay library! The Valley is well represented on the executive with Nicole Minions, Manno Theos, and Chair Brenda Leigh (Oyster River North). Vicky Brown from Cumberland is also on the board.
The Comox Valley has great representation. Look forward to the year ahead with you and the Executive.
The Highway 19 blockade in support of the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs is definitely affecting Baynes Sound communities this morning. Highway 19A is very busy. Stay safe out there and be civil. The right to peacefully protest is core to our democracy.... there are protests happening across Canada this week on this issue.
Do you know where the blockade is?
Merci 🙏
This was an ILLEGAL blockade. Were you supporting an illegal blockade of public infrastructure as a representative of the comox valley?!
A very consequential week coming up at CVRD. Key discussions and decisions around infrastructure servicing both in and around Area A/Baynes Sound, and on Denman. Because some of those discussions have to be behind "closed doors", please just wish me luck for now. I will be able to update the communities in the weeks to come. Here's our agenda for EASC on Monday - it will be a full day! agendaminutes.comoxvalleyrd.ca/cvrdboardmeetings/default.aspx?MeetingID=3030&PrinterVersion=0&Doc...

Good luck Daniel. Take care of yourself through what could be sitting on a “hot seat”.
Good luck!
Grants-in-aid applications are available to Area A non-profits with an end of February deadline. In 2019 we supported 15 projects and funds are limited. The Fallen Alders hall in Royston was able to redo their roof with our funding support.
Thanks Kathy. This link should work: https://www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/documents/grant-aid-guide-and-form
So happy I recieved this as it's a family and dog go to spot! Now it needs a paint job to go with that lovely roof?
Daniel, the “learn more” link isn’t working. Will you please post the link in the comments here?

Congratulations Daniel!!
Can we have a new Rec Center on Hornby?
You are a work horse Daniel!
Theft and vandalism is so upsetting. Yesterday some thieves or vandals cut all the cables for the electric vehicles charging stations at the Buckley Bay rest stop. Apparently it is not the first time and not the only location where this happens. Of course there is other theft happening in our communities. If you have information regarding this or other crimes always contact the RCMP, or even slip me a note and I will pass it on! Thankfully the repair happened within 24 hours, as per this pic:
Update: MOTI was missing a couple of cables, so those like me who have J1772 plug receptacles will have to wait a few weeks to charge again 😞 Hope they get caught.
This is sad I find so hard to understand why some people have to disrespect other people's property we all work so hard for what we have and someone with out a heart can came and destroy like nothing I hope one day we all can live with out fear that ours belongings will be disrespect 😔😔😔
Horrible. Glad it was fixed so promptly
Marissa Cotter I thought of you. Hopefully you've got another place to charge
Just cut them for the sake of cutting them? No parts stolen.. ie: for salvage?
Budget approvals are kickstarting at the CVRD. Over 99 services will be confirmed over the coming two months (63 in Area A), adding to $180 million in expenditures for 2020 across the Comox Valley. Tomorrow we are reviewing a number of rural services, including firehalls, parks, and community halls - here is the agenda package - good time to ask me questions while I am buried in budget detail ~ agendaminutes.comoxvalleyrd.ca/cvrdboardmeetings/default.aspx?MeetingID=3005&PrinterVersion=0&Doc....

How do we apply and fundraise to raise money for a playground in the Kilmarnock/ Craig darroch beach area? There is parkland at the end of Montrose for example...so many families on this side of town and such limited play grounds forfamies it would be so nice to be able to walk to a park rather than driving to Courtenay or waiting for after hours at Royston Elementary.
So thankful for the CVRD Baynes Sound Advisory Planning Commission. This awesome volunteer group reviews land use applications large and small in Area A, and makes recommendations to the CVRD board. Diverse representation to help shape the future of our communities: Each community has a voice at the table, from Ships Point to Royston! If anyone is interested in joining it in the future - let me know... and if you see these folks in your community please thank them for their service ~ Chair Glenn Loxham, Union Bay. Secretary Karen Fouracre, Fanny Bay. Rebecca Kayfetz, Buckley Bay. Jane Stiney, Royston. Bill Trussler, Ships Point. Lindsay Clement is not pictured here... currently on leave, from Royston.
