UPDATE SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 - The application submission period has now closed.

The District of Oak Bay is now accepting applications for the Oak Bay Advisory Planning Commission (APC) to fill one or two year term vacancies, expiring December 2016 and December 2017. In addition to general membership (including representation under 35 years of age) representing the community, the District is seeking representatives with a background in environmental, active transportation, heritage, business and land use activities.

The Commission brings a broad community perspective to initiatives that promote a sustainable community by linking land use, transportation, environment, climate change, economy, heritage, and social and cultural considerations, all of which represent the community vision.
