Governance and Services Study 2021-2022

At its September 26 meeting, the Regional Board received the final report and recommendation of the study committee and will forward these to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.  The work of the committee is now complete.

Go to yoursay.rdco.com for information on the committee activities during 2022.

 Background on the 2022 study

What is the study?

The Central Okanagan West and North Westside Governance and Services study will engage residents in an analysis of the current regional district governance and service delivery in the electoral area with a particular emphasis on the communities within the North Westside Fire Protection area.

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs has provided a $60,000 Restructure Planning Grant to the RDCO to conduct a governance and services study for the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area with an emphasis on North Westside communities.

This is not an incorporation study.  It will build on the recommendations of the 2017 North Westside Services and Community Issues Review - Final Report and through engagement opportunities, understand the concerns and interests of residents about governance to identify options within the regional district framework for addressing their most pressing needs.

  • Governance and Services Study Terms of Reference

The Terms of Reference will be used to guide the study process which is expected to see a final report delivered later in 2022.

 

What will the committee do?

The committee’s work will build on the 2017 North Westside Services and Community Issues Review and will advise and assist community members to understand their governance concerns, common interests and provide options under the regional district governance framework to address their most pressing needs.  It’s to provide a report to the Board later this year.

  • Committee Terms of Reference

 

Who is on the committee?

Study committee members were appointed by the Regional Board on the recommendation of the Electoral Area Director based on their experience and interest expressed in their application.

Brian Arquilla Tim Jones Eric Dennison

Information about the committee and its work will be available at yoursay.rdco.com.

 

 2020 Restructure Planning Grant Standing Committee
