To ensure the Cowichan WUP is reflective of the diverse range of interests and priorities of the residents and businesses of the region, a public advisory group (PAG) has been formed to work collaboratively through a structured planning process. PAG members have now been confirmed (see table below) and were selected to include representatives from local, provincial and federal government, First Nations, industry, local community and interest groups, and area residents. The PAG held their first meeting in Duncan on November 22.
