Incorporation Community Engagement Resumes

By Barbra Fairclough

In September 2021, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, in response to recent public health orders, put the incorporation study community engagement phase on hold. An incorporation discussion panel on September 25 and public open houses on September 25 and October 5 were postponed.

The Incorporation Committee is responsible for ensuring voters have the information they need to assess the options and if a vote is called, make an informed choice. The committee needs to provide electors with opportunities to review, question and understand what each option would mean for Sorrento Blind Bay.

To inform yourself prior to the upcoming community engagement dates visit the CSRD incorporation webpage. You can also review all the incorporation documents at the library in Blind Bay if you are not using internet.

You can listen to zoom recordings of previous meetings of August 19 and 23, 2021 on the CSRD Incorporation webpage.

Questions can be submitted in Frequently Asked Questions and you will receive a response from the consultant. These responses can be seen under Frequently Asked Questions on the CSRD website.

The Frequently Asked Questions page is a list of questions that residents have asked. Have a look to see if your question is answered. Questions asked over time are found at https://www. csrd.bc.ca/areas/sorrento-blind-bay-incorporation-study
