The Comox Valley Regional District has received a boost in funding for a local project.
Over $1.1 million has been donated by the Union of BC Municipalities for the Dyke Road Park Green Shores Demonstration Project, a project that plans to showcase a nature-based solution for shoreline management.
General Manager of Planning and Development Services for the district, Alana Mullaly says they look forward to working on the project with their partners, with the hopes that the project will strengthen the site’s coastal resilience and minimize the risk of flooding.
The district adds that along with removing invasive species, the other goals for the project include protecting indigenous archaeology, restoring the habitat, and stabilizing the shoreline.
Construction for the project is set for next year once funding and planning are finalized.
