EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In order to establish joint services for the West Shore Parks and Recreation facilities, Bylaw No. 639 titled “Parks, Recreation and Community Service Establishment” was adopted in December 2001. The partnership has expanded since bylaw adoption, though an amending bylaw was never presented or adopted. Staff wish to correct this through the introduction of Bylaw No. 2196.

BACKGROUND:

In 2007, the Town of View Royal joined the above-mentioned municipalities in this partnership, though the bylaw was not updated to reflect this.

COMMENTARY:

Staff have prepared a bylaw amendment to include the Town of View Royal and properly reflect the partnership that is continuing to this day.
