At the October 28, 2020 CRD Board meeting, the Bylaw received three readings and staff was directed to consult with First Nations before advancing further work on the Terms of Reference.]

 

1. That Bylaw No. 4368, Capital Regional District Board Procedures Bylaw, 2012, Amendment Bylaw No. 11, 2020, be adopted;

2. That the Terms of Reference for all CRD Standing Committees be amended to allow for First Nation Member participation, as follows: “First Nation Members are permitted to participate in standing committee meetings at their pleasure, in accordance with the CRD Procedures Bylaw, where the Nation has an interest in matters being considered by the committee.”
