Campbell River Council has adopted a bylaw amendment concerning councillors' pay.

Council chose to forgo a wage increase last year as policy at the time tied increases to inflation, which was particularly high.

Council committed to have an updated policy in place for 2024.

For 2024 and beyond, annual pay will be increased by a percentage that is equal to the percentage increase in the Official Consumer Price Index for Canada, at a minimum of one per cent and a maximum of four percent.

The City says the bylaw will provide stability to the City and cap Council wage increases.
