Update on the Bowen Island Lodge Situation for April 21, 2018

Issues regarding the Bowen Island Lodge continue.

On April 12, 2018, the Camp Bowen Society for the Visually Impaired met with the Bylaw department of the Bowen Island Municipality to reaffirm our position regarding the covenant governing the Bowen Island Lodge. We asked the Municipality to enforce the covenant that protects the rights of the blind, visually impaired, and deaf blind as well as the residents of Snug Point. We were informed at the meeting that Bylaw will be meeting with the Bowen Island Lodge on April 30, 2018. What exactly the contents of the April 30 meeting will be were not disclosed. Bylaw also scheduled a follow up meeting with the Camp Bowen Society for the Visually impaired for May 2, 2018.

We have reason to believe that this matter will go before Council soon, making letters of support even more important than ever. If you have submitted a letter of support, we thank you and invite you to join those of us who will be going before council during public comments on Monday, April 23, 2018 at the regular Council meeting scheduled for 9:30 AM at Municipal Hall.

If you have not yet submitted a letter of support or are just now hearing about the serious issues being raised about the Bowen Island Lodge, you can find all the information here.

We thank you in advance for your continued support. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us via the contact page on www.campbowen.ca or at +1 (604) 947-0021.
