The public input portion of the Alternative Approval Processes has concluded.

ALTERNATivE APPROVAL PROCESS

An alternative approval process (AAP) enables local governments to directly engage citizens about a proposed bylaw intended to undertake long-term borrowing, a boundary extension, establish a new regional district service, or other matters requiring elector approval.

The AAP allows voters to indicate whether they are against a local government proposal moving forward. The process requires that 10% or more of eligible voters sign and submit official opposition forms (also called Elector Response Forms) against the proposed initiative. If this threshold is met, then the local government must proceed with a referendum (assent voting) before it can proceed with the proposal.

If you support the proposal, no action is required.
