Looking ahead over the next 9 years, TransLink expects to draw on $1.5 billion in GVRF funds to pay for eligible capital expenditures associated with the 2018 Phase Two Investment Plan and subsequent investment plans.

TD227.B7K46 2004 333.91’04’0971128 C2004-960175-X Executive summary This project focussed on the delineation and classification of developed aquifers within the Capital Regional District of British Columbia (CRD). The goal was to identify and map water-bearing unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers in the region, and to classify the mapped aquifers according to the methodology outlined in the B.C. Aquifer Classification System (Kreye and Wei, 1994). The project began in summer 2003 with the mapping and classification of aquifers in Sooke, and on the Saanich Peninsula. Aquifers in the remaining portion of the CRD including Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, District of Highlands, the Western Communities, Metchosin and Port Renfrew were mapped and classified in summer 2004. The presence of unconsolidated deposits within the CRD is attributed to glacial activity within the region over the last 20,000 years. Glacial and glaciofluvial modification of the landscape has resulted in the presence of significant water bearing deposits, formed from the sands and gravels of Capilano Sediments, Quadra and Cowichan Head Formations.

  • Protecting the Integrity of Rural Communities 0 Protecting, Conserving and Managing Ecosystem Health 0 Fostering a Resilient Food and Agriculture System
    DRAFTREGIONALCONTEXTSTATEMENT(OCP PART 14) VISION The District of Metchosin’s OCP supports and is consistent with the vision expressed in the RGS,in part by enshrining several of the same objectives, including: - Protecting the integrity of rural communities 0 Protecting, conserving and managing ecosystem health 0 Fostering a resilient food and agriculture system. The District's OCPalso supports the other objectives through measures appropriate to its size as a small rural community of approximately 5,000 people. The District's OCPdemonstrates Metchosin’s commitment to regional sustainability, including the actions and decisions the District continues to take to limit growth and retain Metchosin’s role and character as a rural municipality. The OCP notes that the District's first OCP (in 1986) emphasized the maintenance of an agricultural economy, the upgrading of regional parks and open spaces and the provision of residential development on moderate to large sized parcels. These objectives remain unchanged today and the OCP is well aligned with the regional growth strategy. Growth Projections The OCP contains policies that support the growth projections contained in Table 1. It is anticipated that much of the growth referenced in the population estimates will be directed to neighbouring West Shore communities of Colwood, Langford and Sooke, consistent with the target to accommodate at least 95% of the region's new dwelling units within the Urban Containment Policy Area. The most recent 2016 Census shows a declining population in Metchosin. Between 1996 and 2016 the District's population (as per the federal Census) decreased by 1 person. The decline comes at the same time that neighbouring municipalities of Sooke, Colwood and Langford grew by 49%, 22% and 102% respectively.
