Dear Ms. Gorman:
Re: Regional Vegetation Management Strategy
At their meeting of February 4, 2019 the District of Metchosin Council passed a resolution indicating their interest in participating in a co-application submitted by the CRD on behalf of its members to UBCM’s Community Resiliency Investment Program (2020 intake) for the development of a regional vegetation management strategy to assess the following: forest die-off, recommended alternative fire-resistant vegetation replacements, initiate a pilot project, and use the results to create a regional strategy, model policy and implementation plan.
Metchosin’s representative in this initiative will be Councillor Andy MacKinnon. Please contact me should you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Tammie Van Swieten, Deputy Corporate Officer
