Comox Valley Regional District Holds Inaugural Board Meeting

The Comox Valley Regional District has held its inaugural board meeting.

The CVRD Board is made up of local elected officials appointed by their respective councils, along with elected CVRD representatives from the three electoral areas.

Each November, the CVRD Directors elect the Chair and Vice-Chair positions for the board for the coming year.

This year the board elected Will Cole-Hamilton as Board Chair and Jonathan Kerr as Board Vice-Chair. Chair Cole-Hamilton is from the City of Courtenay and Vice-Chair Kerr is from the Town of Comox.

Both will serve in these positions for the next year.

Cole-Hamilton says the board has named five focal points for service delivery: fiscal responsibility, climate crisis, community partnerships, indigenous relations, and accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

He says those drivers will help to ensure services are delivered properly as they head into the financial planning process.
