2011 Series – An Overview

Glenn westendorp (120p) - town of comox“At the 2011 Comox Valley Learning Lunch Seminar Series, the spotlight will be on the unfunded ‘infrastructure liability’ confronting all local governments. This is a driver for a change in the way local governments plan, finance, implement and over time replace infrastructure,” states Glenn Westendorp, Public Works Superintendent with the Town of Comox. He is Chair of the 2011 Series.

Throughout the March – June period, the CAVI-Comox Valley Regional Team is releasing articles on a weekly basis. Their purpose is to foreshadow what to expect on these dates:

  • April 14 – Regional Collaboration theme
  • May 19 – Adaptation theme
  • June 23 – Risk Management theme

The target audience is land use and infrastructure professionals in the local government and development sectors.
