News Update—May 2022

Only two steps now remain to achieve the necessary rezoning of the proposed building site property on Paisley Place:

1. Approval of Bylaw 308 by the Islands Trust Executive Committee,
2. Final Adoption by the LTC of all three Bylaws: #306 (OCP), #307 (LUB), and #308 (HA).

We hope these final steps will happen in the next month or two.
For more information about the May 12 decisions, see the Staff Report here on the Islands Trust website.

The generous anonymous donation received earlier in the spring is allowing our engineering and architectural design work to continue to the shovel ready stage. At recent meetings we discussed designs for the common building at the heart of the development.

In January, BC Housing announced on their website that invitations to apply for the next round of Community Housing Funding will occur some time in the next 24 months. When we apply, our success is much more likely if we have our IT rezoning completed and our site planning at the “shovel ready” stage. In the meantime we count on YOUR continued financial and community support. Thank you!
