A series of eight working groups, made up of Comox Valley community members, are currently working to providing knowledge, perspective and expertise in the following sustainability topic areas:
  • Food Systems
  • Housing & Neighbourhoods
  • Ecosystems, Environment & Parks
  • Transportation
  • Infrastructure
  • Buildings & Development
  • Economic Health
  • Social Health / Community Well-Being

Purpose of the working groups:
  • To provide local knowledge
  • To help consultants and local government officials identify challenges and opportunities
  • To create realistic visions, goals, actions, and targets for the eight sustainability topic areas
  • Identify what is most urgently in need of updating or what should receive greater priority
  • To ensure cross-awareness of related initiatives.
