Alternative Approval Process Results

The Town of Ladysmith has recently conducted an Alternative Approval Process (AAP) to determine if the public supports proceeding with the proposal submitted by Couverdon Real Estate/TimberWest to expand the Town boundaries to include approximately 700 hectares of land owned by Couverdon/TimberWest. The deadline for the submission of Elector Response Forms from eligible Town of Ladysmith electors was March 14, 2014 at 4:00 p.m.

The number of valid Elector Response Forms received by the deadline was 1,601. Given that in excess of 10% of eligible Town of Ladysmith voters responded to the AAP, the proposed boundary expansion can only proceed if the Town obtains the assent of the electors through a referendum. The AAP results will be officially reported to Council at the April 7, 2014 Regular Council Meeting. The meeting will start at 7:00 p.m. and will take place in the Ladysmith Council Chambers, 410 Esplanade.
