The Town of Comox is inviting residents to take part in a virtual open house Thursday, Oct. 16, as work continues on its Urban Forest Management Strategy.

The plan will guide how the community cares for its trees and green spaces over the next 30 years.
The open house runs from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. and will include a presentation on Comox’s urban forest, followed by a Q-and-A with the consulting team and town staff.
Feedback from the session will help shape the draft strategy, which is expected to be shared online later this fall for public review.
More information and the event link are available here.
