September 16, 2022: Update
A revised Strategy is in progress and will be presented to the Board once completed.
In May 2022, the Wood Smoke Reduction Strategy was presented to the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) Board. The CVRD Board provided feedback to staff and recommendations for incorporation. The revised Wood Smoke Reduction Strategy will be presented to the Board on September 20, 2022.
“Misinformation regarding air quality and the draft strategy are circulating within the community,” explains Ton Trieu, Manager of Planning Services. “We are encouraging residents to be wary of information regarding this matter and potential impersonations of CVRD Directors.”
To watch the September 20th CVRD Board meeting residents can tune-in online or come down to the CVRD Main office at 770 Harmston Avenue. The revised strategy and agenda for the meeting will be available at www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/agendas.
