Feedback? The best opportunity to voice support or concerns would be at a scheduled Public Hearing for the project. If you would like to contact Council about one of these projects, there are various ways to do so listed here.
As the District is doing its part to avoid large public gatherings, "Opportunities for to be Heard" and "Public Hearings" will be held during a virtual meeting with an opportunity to speak, and soon limited attendance in person at the hearings. For more information on speaking at a virtual meeting or possibly attending in person, please call 250-652-4444 to speak to a Corporate Administration staff member.
