MUNICIPAL LIAISON EFFORTS

At the committee level, our ongoing outreach with

municipalities remains steadfast. Meaningful discussions

on various critical policy matters persist with key

stakeholders including the City of Victoria, Township of

Esquimalt, District of Saanich, and City of Colwood. In

addition, we are in the process of establishing liaison

committees with the District of Sooke and City of

Langford, further strengthening our engagement with

local communities in the West Shore. UDI Capital Region

deeply appreciates the collaborative efforts of these

municipalities in the review and formulation of new

policies, underscoring our shared commitment to fostering

sustainable development and growth within the region.
