Over the past eight years on council, I have had the privilege of working with the people of Cumberland and I am so proud of our achievements.
During that time our little village has done some BIG things, like being the first community in B.C. to implement a social procurement framework, which maximizes community benefits from public purchases; developing a precedent-setting agreement between forestry companies/UROC/village so that we could secure the public use of our amazing trail network; being one of the first communities on the Island to establish environmental protection areas as part of development permit process that requires biodiversity, terrestrial, watercourse and riparian protection; all while moulding Cumberland into a renowned recreation and cultural hub. We secured several large grants, have started our important sewage system upgrades and have completed major infrastructure projects such as the new fire hall; the new water treatment plant; and the Dunsmuir and Bevan Road upgrades.
