Town of Comox End Of Year Review

Comox Mayor Nicole Minions looking back at some of the town’s successes in 2022.

From strategic priorities like a new tree retention policy and the demolition and construction of a new Marine Services Building, to regional collaboration on climate action initiatives and actions to reduce poverty in the region, which included $40,000 in funding for Habitat for Humanity.

In a statement, Minions says it would be remiss not to recognize all the extraordinary community events and public engagement opportunities that made a positive difference in the lives of those who live, work, and play in Comox; from the opening of the new Aspen Grove Child Care Centre, to the energy created by drawing the community back to an in-person Comox Nautical Day celebration, and working to support local charity initiatives such as the Mayor’s Golf Tournament and the Comox Valley Telethon for the Child Development Association that raised over $127,000.

Minions also reflects on the hard work of late Mayor Russ Arnott.

Arnott received the Freedom of the Town award before the October General Elections. She says it was a privilege and an honour to bestow the award, to show Arnott their sincere appreciation for his dedication to public service.

Minions says she and council were saddened by the passing of their  beloved friend and mentor in November, calling it a significant loss for the community and the field of public service.
