Wide Area Fill Study - Drilling Program

From September 14 - 18, 2026, the Village will be carrying out environmental investigation work within municipal road allowances. Property owners adjacent to the respective work areas will be notified by a hand delivered letter. No work will be done on private property unless agreed to the property owner. 

There will be temporary road closures during September 16 and 17 on Alpine View, N. Maquinna, Head Bay Road and Strange Road. The work is part of a wide area environmental and hydrogeological investigation to assess the extent, quality, and composition of historical deposits of hog fuel (wood waste). The work will include drilling boreholes and/or monitoring wells, collecting groundwater or soil samples, soil vapours, and installing, maintaining and operating monitoring equipment and related infrastructure. The investigation will support an application by the Village for a wide area Approval in Principle by the Ministry of Environment which, if granted, will reduce red tape for future residential development and construction.

Mayor’s report Sept 1

Happy to be part of the inception and build of the Just Like Home project, opening Tuesday in Campbell River. This building, adjacent to the North Island Hospital, was built by Strathcona Regional District, Island Health and the financial assistance of generous donors. It meets the demand for accommodation by health care professionals and citizens of our regional district that need a low cost place to stay while a family member is in hospital. Given that short term accommodation in Campbell River can run as high as $500 per night currently and this will offer rooms for as low $87 per night, this provides much needed financial relief for family of patients. There are a total of 30 units.

Season’s ending

 Tahsis Artisans’ Coop (TACo) closes for the season at 4:00 on Monday, September 7.  We still have a wide variety of merchandise from our 22 members. Open every day from 11-4 in the hall of St. Joseph’s church on the hill above Westview Marina.
