Shawnigan Village Plan (2019 – 2020)
MVH worked closely with this lake community and the Cowichan Valley Regional District to develop a plan that included significant development expansion north of the Village and a vitalization plan for the Village core as part of a six node and ten strategy approach. More than 600 participants took an active part in shaping the plan over nine months.
Six "activity nodes" concept focuses improvements and development
