Cumberland village council has been opposed to the idea of a governance review since it was first brought forward in 2014 by the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce.
鈥淲e have never supported the governance review,鈥� says Cumberland Mayor Leslie Baird. 鈥淲e are working fine as we are as a community governing ourselves, and we feel we would like to continue that.鈥�
Council will also be sending a letter to the Comox Valley Regional District, the Inspector of Municipalities and the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, raising their concerns about the CVRD providing $10,000 to the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce to promote the review.
