Courtenay’s OCP supports resource-based employment opportunities in alignment with Objective 3-C. Since Courtenay’s boundary is largely urban, this is primarily accomplished by recognizing the chance to foster valued added business that build off traditional resource-based jobs such as forestry and agriculture.

Objective 3-C: Support resource-based employment opportunities

Local Economy Policy 4: Support initiatives that generate value-added, community-based business development, including but not limited to, arts and culture, local food processing, specialty forest products, and other value added product manufacturing.
