February 22, 2022: The property purchase and the Alternative Approval Process for the acquisition of the property at 3427 Tyee Crescent as an addition to Blueback Community Park in the Fairwinds neighbourhood of Electoral Area E is complete.

Bylaw No. 1844 - A Bylaw to Authorize Borrowing for the Acquisition of Parkland in Electoral Area E.

The Alternative Approval Process for these bylaws ran from January 5th to 4:00 p.m. on February 14th.
