Collaboration on West Shore Regional Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan

"CAO Sommerville reported that all five West Shore municipalities were invited to fund the $140,000 master plan to avoid duplication of costly facilities (e.g., new facilities in Colwood/Langford). Councillors Mattson and MacKenzie argued against the motion, believing new facilities outside of Juan de Fuca Rec are too far for View Royal residents and that the town cannot afford to contribute to future high capital costs. Councillors Kowalewich and Rogers stressed the importance of long-term regional planning and View Royal's influence within the West Shore Parks and Recreation Society."
