Reducing single-use plastic bags in Oak Bay

It’s time to ditch single-use plastic bags in Oak Bay!

The District of Oak Bay is reminding the public and businesses that single-use plastic bags are to be phased out as we inch closer to the Checkout Bag Regulation Bylaw coming into effect November 24, 2022.

The purpose of these regulations is to: reduce the amount of plastic litter and waste in the community; support local businesses in reducing their use of single-use plastics; and improve consistency in the region (Victoria, Saanich, and Esquimalt have already adopted similar requirements)
