Step 4: Prepare & Adopt the Plan

The Comox Strathcona Waste Management team is updating its Solid Waste Management Plan.

An SWMP is a long-term plan for managing and reducing waste in the region – and it requires input from the community to determine the best steps forward.

We have reached the last step pf the process: Step 4. Thank you to everyone who participated in a previous step and submitted feedback. Your suggestions and input have helped to shape the draft plan.

The draft plan set a path towards how waste reduction and solid waste actives will be carried out in our region for the next decade. It prioritizes environmental stewardship, education, and waste management programs focused on the pollution prevention hierarchy.

How are we going to measure our success? In collaboration with the Regional Solid Waste Advisory Committee and our municipal and First Nation partners, we have created targets which are achievable, have clear timelines and help to demonstrate continuous improvement towards Provincial targets.

Here’s how you can get involved, April 7-24:

  • Read the draft plan.
  • Watch the informational video about the draft plan.
  • Participate by leaving your feedback.
  • Post questions for the project team to answer.

What's Next?

Finalize and submit the plan to the Province for approval. It can take anywhere between six - 18 months from submission for the minister to review and approve the plan.
