Advocacy Groups Sought For RDNO Advisory Committee

Jun 22, 2018 | 9:09 AM

The Regional District of North Okanagan wants input from local relevant advocacy groups for Its Greater Vernon Trails and Natural Spaces Advisory Committee.

The committee’s role is to provide advice and feedback to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee on matters relating directly to Greater Vernon trails and natural spaces.

It will also work with Electoral Areas and member municipalities with respect to issues on trails and natural spaces in their local communities.

Parks Manager Keith Pinkoski says nominations are now being accepted from advocacy groups for representatives who can bring a community perspective on the development of the areas, have experience in identifying related issues, and who will add value to the overall process with their feedback.

“Having a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for our residents while collaborating together to achieve common objectives is the foundation this committee will stand on.”

The Advisory Committee will be comprised of a maximum of 20 representatives from advocacy groups around the Greater Vernon area.

Group participation is appointed for a four year term with a minimum of two  meetings per year.

Interested parties can find a nomination package at www.rdno.ca.

Nominations will be accepted until July 6, 2018 at the Regional District of North Okanagan office located at 9848 Aberdeen Road in Coldstream, or by emailing communityservices@rdno.ca.
