Discussion on Licensing Beaches for Recreational Use

environment · Denman Island beaches

The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) is considering licensing some Denman Island beaches as parks for recreational use only. This would involve identifying beaches not leased or tenured for aquaculture or on Agricultural Reserve Land, consulting with the community and Indigenous groups, and obtaining approvals from provincial and regional authorities.

• “What if this initiative, under the jurisdiction of CVRD, could be taken one step further and have some beaches licensed as parks for recreational use?... CVRD this would be a long process but worth it in the end as currently no beaches on Denman are parks reserved for recreational use... To get the ball rolling... we need to know which beaches are not already tenured or leased out or on Agricultural Reserve Land... Denman Island Residents Association (DIRA), in consultation with the community...” — The Islands Grapevine – August 16th, 2018 (August 16th, 2018)
