The Municipality has a new committee to help it promote sustainability principles. The Greenways Advisory Committee will provide advice and input into future park, trail and outdoor recreation planning, eco-tourism and nature conservation opportunities on Bowen. Council is taking steps to formalize a Greenways Strategy by embedding it within the framework of the Official Community Plan. The committee will act in an advisory capacity recommending ways to implement Greenway initiatives on the island. It will be expected to review and assess development proposals regarding Greenways integrity and opportunities. Council may request the committee to pursue the securing of Greenways lands through private donations programs, conservation covenants and Crown Land transfers. As the Parks and Recreation Commission is currently on hiatus, the new committee will also assume some of parks function which was formerly the responsibility of the commission.
