Collaborative Learning Session: Development Cost Charges for SW Facilities

With the recently-published Best Practices Document, a number of members reached out eager to learn more and to see if we can find examples of those who have already completed work in this area and also to have the Ministry available to answer questions… wishes really do come true:

• We will start with a primer on DCC’s (the basics) and a review of the work being undertaken by the District of Squamish with Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
• Then the Regional District of Nanaimo will present and share their work on SW DCCs
• We also warmly welcome a representative from Local Government Finance, Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs who will be on hand to respond to questions/speak to the DCC legislation and bylaw drafting.

NOTE: If you are implementing SW into your DCC bylaw, please consider sharing a few minutes of your work for all to learn from.

– COST –

There is no cost for this event with thanks to the Regional District membership fees that help support event’s like this for everyone. Please consider membership with CWMA. Every organizational member helps us continue to respond to your needs with forums that help everyone learn and lead.
