In 2006, the City conducted a Boundary Restructure Study that explored the possibility of
expanding its boundaries. The City worked with the BC Government’s Local
Government Restructure Program to look at the potential advantages and
disadvantages of including portions of the surrounding electoral areas
within the City boundaries.
The City currently provides water and fire protection services to the majority of the study area.
A public committee was established and was made up of 5 Electoral Area Citizens, 3 Citizens from within the City, 1 representative from Cowichan Tribes and 1 Citizen from North Cowichan.
