Dashwood Fire Hall Replacement - What happens now?

On April 23, 2019 the Regional District of Nanaimo Board approved initiating an alternative approval process in order to obtain elector approval to establish a service and loan authorization bylaw to borrow for the replacement of the Dashwood Fire Department main fire hall.

What happens now?

The bylaws are sent to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and are reviewed by staff before they are forwarded for an approval decision by the Inspector of Municipalities for the borrowing of funds . Processing time averages between six and eight weeks. Once approved, the RDN will commence the alternative approval process (AAP).
