Less than 10 percent of eligible people sent responses to the Unified Alternative Approval Process.
That comes from the Comox Valley Regional District, announcing the process has finished and results are finalized.
The AAP is a process for local governments to engage residents on a service establishment, any key service changes and/or borrowing. This process covered four different projects, including a new artificial turf field, the construction of a new firehall in Union Bay, an emergency shelter and supportive housing land acquisition and homelessness supports.

The district says for all four projects, less than 10 percent of eligible electors signed and submitted responses by February 18, the deadline to send responses.
The Union Bay firehall project saw 1,037 eligible electors, but only 73 response forms were accepted. 623 forms were rejected by the district.
For the turf field project, 2,123 response forms were accepted out of 56,141 electors, with 94 forms rejected.
The housing supports project had 5,038 forms accepted with 370 rejected, while the homelessness supports had 3,698 accepted forms and 669 rejected forms. Housing supports had 62,126 electors, while homelessness had 47,008.
The district says most of the rejected forms are because of either duplicate forms or ineligibility as people were outside the defined service area.
The results and projects will be considered by the district board as part of Tuesday’s meeting, set to start at 4:00 p.m.
