AAP Public Notice 

Public notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors for the Strathcona Regional District may proceed with final passage and adoption of Bylaw No. 642, being Electoral Area Financial Assistance Service Establishing Bylaw 2026, at its meeting of Wednesday, October 28, 2026 unless at least 10% of the eligible electors within the electoral areas submit elector response forms not later than 12:00 noon on October 7, 2026.

Bylaw No. 642 proposes that the Regional District be authorized to award financial assistance to qualifying organizations that provide benefit to the public within one or more electoral areas provided the maximum amount raised by requisition for such purposes cannot exceed $0.05 per $1,000 of property assessments in any given year.

The number of eligible electors within the boundaries established by Bylaw No. 642 for the proposed electoral area financial assistance service has been fairly determined to be 8,969 and the number of valid elector objections required to prevent the adoption of Bylaw No. 642 without first obtaining the assent of the electors by voting is 897. Elector response forms must be in the form approved by the Regional Board and may be obtained online at srd.ca/gia-aap or in person at the Regional District office during regular office hours. Only persons who qualify as electors within Electoral Areas A, B, C or D are entitled to sign and submit an elector response form.

Further information regarding Bylaw No. 642 or this alternative approval process may be obtained at srd.ca/gia-aap or by contacting the Regional District.
