QBRA Opens Up Membership

At the 2019 Annual General Meeting, the Qualicum Beach Residents' Association changed its membership criteria to include people living outside the town but who consider themselves to be part of the Qualicum Beach community.  

Board Meetings

Our board meetings are open to any member.  We prefer that you let us know ahead of time if you are coming so we can have enough seats, coffee, etc.  If you have a topic you wish us to discuss, let us know so we can put it on the agenda.  You can contact Doug MacKay-Dunn at (250) 752-5598.

QBRA Membership

As well as renewing existing memberships , QBRA is reaching out to welcome new Qualicum Beach residents to our organization. Having access to our website and receiving our updates about upcoming issues , activities and Qualicum life is a wonderful way for new residents to learn about their new environment!

Accessibility

Everyone has the right to use public facilities without difficulty.  These are all facilities open to the public such as schools, stores, restaurants etc. and includes the streets.  At present there are some areas of the town where someone who has to use a walker, scooter, or wheelchair to get around has a great deal of trouble.

Town is Live Streaming Council Meetings

Our blog has been renamed "What's New"  Continue to check it out for the latest information.  Also feel free to submit articles or suggestions for the "What's New" column.
The Qualicum Beach Residents Association has for several years been lobbying for live streaming of Council meetings.  If you want to see what happens at Council meetings you can watch them live at www.qualicumbeach.com.  They also have archived the Council meetings so you can go back to see what happened at past meetings.  We congratulate the Council for taking this important step.  Try it out and see how you like it

Tree Replacement Policy

Qualicum Beach has a wonderful urban forest in parks, on public land and on private land.  We must protect our urban forest for all the benefits of trees.  The Council needs to look at a tree protection and replacement policy to ensure we always have our urban forest.
