Peninsula News Review
February 23, 2015
Amalgamation Yes representative Colin Nelson praised North Saanich council for including a non-binding question on its civic election ballot in November, helping set in motion a provincial study into amalgamation issues among the 13 Greater Victoria municipalities.
Nelson encouraged the council to consider his lobby group’s suggestions for the terms of reference for the provincial study, including at least three options in the Capital Region and completing the report in a timely manner.
North Saanich council agreed and also passed its own resolution — to ask the province to include municipalities in the creation of the study and that CRD municipalities lead the study using provincial funds. — Steven Heywood/PNR
