In March: another community workshop and survey

Discussions: OCP POLICY OPTIONS

At issue in the OCP: is this a desirable buildout?

This is a development pattern similar to that which our current Official Community Plan (OCP) would allow.


An update of our OCP is underway.
There are many ways to participate in the OCP update process—visit www.bowenocpupdate.ca

Dr. Hugh James Freeman replied to Will Husby's discussion 'Finally my notes from the latest Open Space Meeting: Ecological Goods and Services'
All of these are very important conceptual issues that may or may not have some Bowen applicability. The herbal medicine game is limited in its scientific basis as most remedies have never been tested in proper clinical trials. It is interesting th…

It looks like this thesis has just been submitted in January 2010. Presumably, it has been or will be accepted soon. When permitted by UBC, it might be useful to put your full document on the website, if possible.

Sally Freeman replied to Jeremy Howe's discussion 'Snug Cove at al'
From my limited point of view this is the first time I've seen the small glimmer of a solution for this problem. Here is a bit of a preamble before I reply. When I was running for council I talked to hundreds of Boweners. Of the ones that weren't al…

I believe that the plan you refer to is still posted on the Muni board on the ferry (to the right of the vending machines. I agree that it may be the most interesting proposal tabled thus far, particularly as it recognises the need to mitigate the h…

Hugh I am not sure I understand what you mean by “testing” the concepts of ecological goods and services, ecological integrity and green infrastructure on crown land. Ecological goods and services and ecological integrity are recognized as existing…

Dr. Hugh James Freeman replied to Will Husby's discussion 'Finally my notes from the latest Open Space Meeting: Ecological Goods and Services'
Okay, this is much more understandable now to me and I think that there are some useful points. Since most of the island is Crown land, some of these concepts might even be testable on our little island, at least on the Crown owned portion. I notic…

Dr. Hugh James Freeman replied to Jeremy Howe's discussion 'Snug Cove at al'
Well, Wolfgang Duntz provided a wonderful plan for Snug Cove some time back. I thought it was terrific. That plan seemed like a good starting point (even finishing point). Don't know if there were any serious objections to that plan, but if not, an…

The worst picture, I know, but to me, this is the most offensive... I am laughing, as it sounds a bit dramatic. Anyway, this another ugly wall (like communist Russia:0

Thanks Sally, I will do that. We had our old dog put down yesterday and I must get back on track. Martin and I are shuffling about missing the little 'rat' (as we called him) "Sneaker" was 18. Time to go. I'll get back to you on what the plans are.…
