The Comox Valley Regional District is inviting Union Bay residents to attend an open house on the design and development of the new Union Bay Firehall.
Join Us – Open House
Thursday, November 28, 2024
5:00 to 7:00 pm
Union Bay Community Hall
(5401 Island Hwy S, Union Bay)
Staff will be on hand to provide details into the project design, including amenities, added benefits to the community, and construction timeline.
“The Union Bay Firehall project represents an important community need in providing essential life safety to residents and visitors in the Union Bay area,” explains Electoral Area A Director Daniel Arbour. “The current building, built in 1956, is not only aging in terms of infrastructure, but also limits the ability for our firefighters to respond effectively. The larger hall, truck bays, and improved storage capabilities will greatly benefit the Union Bay community for years to come.”
If you cannot make the open house in person, visit www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/unionbayfire to understand the current situation of the firehall and learn how the new design will affect the community.
This project will be part of the unified Alternative Approval Process occurring in January 2025 to determine funding and borrowing options. For more information on the AAP process, visit www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/AAP.
