Town of View Royal Considers Disposition of Park Land to the CRD

April 13, 2022

The Town of View Royal is considering the sale of two properties adjacent to Mill Hill Regional Park to the Capital Regional District (CRD). These properties are currently dedicated as park land and would be placed under a covenant to ensure the properties are used only for park purposes, protected and preserved substantially in their natural state, and managed and maintained as part of the regional park system once they are owned by the CRD.

The Town of View Royal has prepared Disposition of Park Land Bylaw No. 1090, 2022 [PDF - 301 KB] and Disposition of Park Land Bylaw No. 1091, 2022 [PDF - 431 KB] to bring about this land disposition.

Prior to Council's adoption of these bylaws, the Community Charter requires elector approval of the adoption of the bylaws to proceed with the disposition of park land to the CRD. Council has chosen the Alternative Approval Process to obtain elector approval.
