This week, CVRD approved a motion to get staff to investigate setting up an air quality advisory committee by Spring 2019.
What is even better is that the resolution was amended to add that the committee should come back with an action plan by September 2019.
This great amendment reflects that this CVRD Board understands that we have had enough studies about the state of our air, and that it is time to get things done. One Director noted that this committee should have been set up 2-3 years ago.
We look forward to the next steps.
