They will try and transfer this to the CRD so that they can claim there is no impact to CoV property taxes!
there is they key word - TRY. They first need to approve it from their side and accept full financial responsibility and then TRY to talk to the CRD about it. If the CRD rejects it then it completely falls on CoV
Just like building affordable housing. If they want to build x,000 units of affordable housing I say fill their boots on their dime. Once it is built then they can take the risk of talking to the province about getting a refund which may not happen
CoV council needs to stop acting like they are responsible for the entire CRD! I am not paying for their continued stupid decisions as a Central Saanich resident. I will never support amalgamation with CoV in charge of anything PERIOD
