People on central Vancouver Island are invited to participate in a community meeting to discuss the development of accessibility legislation for British Columbia.

The governments of K’ómoks First Nation (KFN), British Columbia and Canada have signed a new agreement that will advance reconciliation and treaty negotiations.

The Province has provided $500,000 to help more mothers with vulnerabilities take charge of their lives through funding provided to the Comox Child Development Association for its important ‘Pathways to Healing Partnership’ program.

More Vancouver Island students will soon have access to training to become early childhood educators (ECEs), thanks to an expansion of the program at North Island College (NIC).

The spotlight will be on Comox Valley, thanks to a $250,000 investment to increase and promote tourism activities in the region.

Communities in Comox Valley are receiving federal-provincial investments in key infrastructure projects.

The Province, in partnership with the BC Lung Association, is improving air quality throughout B.C. by providing $17,100 to the Comox Valley Regional District as part of the Provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program.
