Notes

The original 2023-2024 timeline was impacted by the provincial housing legislative deadline. However, staff-level engagement sessions are happening with the development community to support the review and implementation of the OCP and small scale, multi-unit housing regulations. Council is committed to holding further meetings with the development community to better understand their needs, objectives and insights. The City is collaborating with School District No. 71 on common issues such as safe routes to school and land use planning, and we will continue to seek opportunities to collaborate and advance our shared interests. The City of Courtenay is working to strengthen partnerships with key agencies, such as School District No. 71, 19 Wing Comox, and other major Comox Valley employers to support housing discussions and initiatives to foster collaboration and address community housing needs more effectively.

Establish regular meetings for Council with the development community.

In progress

Explore and establish a partnership approach with School District No. 71 on topics of mutual interest such as active school travel planning, traffic planning, community use of schools, shared facilities, climate action, reconciliation, child care and youth engagement. Include School District No. 71, 19 Wing Comox, and other significant Comox Valley employers in housing discussions.
