See Page 39 of "A Path Forward"
In 2009, while in Stage 4 of their treaty process, representatives from K'ómoks First Nation met with representatives from the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) at a series of specially convened sessions. At that time, the CVRD was developing a Regional Growth Strategy (RGS), a high‑level land use planning document that sets out the planning principles and higher level land use designations to help align and direct lower level local government plans (e.g., Official Community Plans) to meet regional sustainability and land use goals and objectives. The planning team introduced K'ómoks to the RGS process so that they could see how regional land use designations could either help or hinder the development of potential Treaty Settlement Lands (which were being negotiated). The sessions, along with ongoing relationship‑building, helped K'ómoks better understand long‑range regional land use planning goals and their implications for future TSL (i.e., suitability for longer‑term development and potential CVRD servicing).
