Looking forward to work with UBID on this. www.comoxvalleyrecord.com/news/comox-valley-regional-district-agrees-to-union-bay-governance-study/
Comox Valley Regional District agrees to Union Bay governance study - Comox Valley Record
comoxvalleyrecord.com
Process will consider whether community should convert services to the region
I hope they look at ALL the options, the province should not be limiting consideration of incorporating but rather support getting all the info forward so that union bay residents can make their choice on their future
I hope this choice goes to vote
This is such a relief, thank you so much!!
Two items of importance for Area A at the CVRD board this week, and I will speak in favor of both initiatives:
1) Consider working with the Union Bay Improvement District and the Province to initiate a governance review around the future of Union Bay services.
2) Consider supporting Hornby stakeholders in implementing a hotel/vacation rentals/room pillow tax (MRDT) for the island.

As an executive board member of the Vancouver Island Regional Library, I will be meeting with the Minister of Education next month to discuss funding to our library system. The Province now only contributes 5% to the VIRL budget, whereas not that long ago they contributed 20%. It is time for BC to step up as demand, programs, and membership continues to grow! In the Comox Valley we have libraries in Comox, Cumberland, Courtenay, Union Bay, and Hornby Island. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-libraries-provincemoney-1.5299180

Yet we still have no Denman Island Public Library, Daniel Arbour, Director Comox Valley Area A. Granted many people are thrilled with Books by Mail nd likely prefer to keep that service. I like it as well. However, the services of a physical Public Library are more pronounced and I think would beneft the community. Not that VIRL is all that interested anymore in planning for a Denman branch. It once was but that was under earlier management.
Yes!!!
Hornby and Denman Islands completed their beach clean-up the last couple days. Here is the result. Unacceptable. The shellfish industry can do better and I will be pounding the table at my upcoming DFO meeting on this issue. photo by Joanne Wyvill.
Thank you, Daniel. I really hope you can help change this terrible pollution.
Thank you - I pick up a huge amount of shellfish material over the winter at Tribune Bay.
Not quite done. Pile is much bigger now. Wraps up Saturday, September 28...
I really hope you step up and make a difference
Super Awesome 😎
Very similar results on the Atlantic too. Shame.
Incroyable!
Wow!
That’s disgusting!
We have a really big agenda to tackle today at Committee of the Whole. We asked staff to report on our Sustainability Strategy, develop a framework for addressing Air Quality, increase targets for Transit ridership, and address ongoing concerns on how we govern our utilities, especially Water and Sewer. Here's the link to the agenda: http://agendaminutes.comoxvalleyrd.ca/cvrdboardmeetings/default.aspx?MeetingID=2921&PrinterVersion=0&DocumentTypeID=1&AgendaDeadline=9/13/2019%201%3A29%3A43%20PM
