Dashwood Fire Hall Bylaw Amendments

On February 8, 2022, the Regional District of Nanaimo Board approved initiating an alternative approval process in order to obtain elector approval to amend the service establishment bylaw and the loan authorization bylaw to increase the maximum requisition amount and borrowing required to replace the Dashwood fire hall.

The bylaws are forwarded for an approval decision by the Inspector of Municipalities. Processing time averages between six and eight weeks. Once approved, the RDN will commence the alternative approval process (AAP). Information on the AAP for local governments can be found here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/local-governments/governance-powers/consent-approval-electors/approval-of-the-electors/alternative-approval-process .
