Regional District of Nanaimo Growth Strategy

The Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) is in place to guide the future growth of our area. The strategy is based on research and sets out guidelines for development that make social, environmental, and economic sense.

So far, our elected officials have included developers' proposal in the OCP review process. We think that's wrong. Our Strategy, and the Official Community Plans that implement it should not be influenced by the agendas or interests of developers.

City of Nanaimo Official Community Plan

The proposal put forward by Canadian Property Investments (1997) Inc. lie within the political boundary of the City of Nanaimo. They are, however, physically within the region of the RDN known as Cedar/Yellowpoint.

Decisions about the future of the 500 acres of land surrounding Cable Bay Trail, Dodd Narrows, the Garry Oak Meadow, and Joan Point will be made by the City of Nanaimo.

Please fill in these forms AND write letters and attend meetings. (See Take Action page)

RDN Area A Official Community Plan

OCPs are the rules that implement our Regional Growth Management Strategy. Getting them right and ensuring they DO implement our RGMS is the job of the people we elect and us.

Our OCP is about to undergo its scheduled ten-year review. Please stay informed and be involved to ensure our communities grow the way citizens and research say they should.

WHO ARE WE?

SOS Nanaimo is a group of Regional District of Nanaimo citizens who are banding together to:

  • protect Cable Bay trail from becoming part of an exclusive time-share resort for non-residents
  • prevent unsustainable urban sprawl into our rural community
  • uphold our democratically- created Regional Growth Strategy

We are committed to keeping the rural character of the trail and surrounding area.

We work with other groups fighting similar issues and seeking to defend our local growth strategy from outside, self-interested developers.
