The boundary study for Electoral Area F (Coombs, Hilliers, Errington, Whiskey Creek, Meadowood) in the Regional District of Nanaimo has entered the community engagement phase.
Area F residents are invited to attend a community meeting to learn about and provide feedback on the proposed boundary options. Following the meetings, a survey will be available in June for area residents to provide further input.
Resident feedback will help inform the boundary recommendations that will be presented at the end of the study, which aims to recommend a boundary within Area F that could be explored in a potential future incorporation study.
Potential boundary scenarios have been developed by study consultants for Electorial Area F based on technical criteria. Residents are invited to attend a meeting to learn about the boundary options and share their views.
- Meeting 1: Thursday, May 8, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., Bradley Centre, 975 Shearme Rd., Coombs
- Meeting 2: Tuesday, May 13, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., Arrowsmith Hall, 1014 Ford Rd., Coombs
There will be a presentation from the study consultants at 7 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session. Both meetings will present the same information and format. Residents are encouraged to attend one meeting.
A survey about the proposed boundary options, including maps, will be available from June 1 to June 15. Electoral Area F residents can register and subscribe to the Boundary Study project webpage at getinvolved.rdn.ca/eaf-boundarystudy to complete the survey online and to receive project updates.
To submit the survey in paper copy, residents can print the survey from the project webpage and submit it to the RDN by email to eafboundarystudy@rdn.bc.ca or by mail or in person to the attention of the Electoral Area F Boundary Study Team, Regional District of Nanaimo, 6300 Hammond Bay Rd, Nanaimo, BC V9T 6N2.
The boundary study is anticipated to be completed by July 2025. Input from the community meetings and the survey will be summarized and presented to the RDN Board and available to the public on the project webpage.
