The Comox Valley Regional District said it has obtained dates for a summary trial regarding ship breaking and other activities in Union Bay.

A notice of civil claim was filed by the district with the Supreme Court of British Columbia in early 2022, seeking assistance to stop ship breaking operations at 5084 Island Highway.

“The CVRD has received a number of complaints regarding the operations of Deep Water Recovery within its current location,” said a district release from 2022.

The CVRD board approved seeking legal action to stop ship breaking activities on the property, as that land use is considered contrary to industrial marine zoning.

An amendment to the civil claim notice was filed with the B.C. Supreme Court on March 25, 2026, with an aim to expand the scope of the claim.

The district said that the B.C. Supreme Court has scheduled the trial for Nov. 25, 26 and 27.
