CVRD Response to COVID-19 Pandemic

governance · March 2020 · Comox Valley Regional District

The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) has established an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) to coordinate the response to the COVID-19 crisis. Measures include closure of sports and aquatic centres, libraries, playgrounds, and public facilities, as well as an open-burning ban to maintain air quality. The CVRD is working on reprioritizing budgets and supporting grassroots organizations through a Grant-in-Aid program.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
