Get a Neighbour to Join

Numbers count.  When we talk to the Town Council, the School Board, the Regional District of Nanaimo we represent you, our members.  The more members we represent, the more weight our presentations have.  During the past year we have tripled our membership and our voice is now being heard.  We can no longer be passed off as a small group who just represent themselves.  If you support what we do, become a member.  The fee is $25.00 for three years (or $10.00 for a year) for all the adult members of a household.  To get a copy of the application form click below

Work with our Committees

There are several committees of the board.   Members at large are welcome to join these committees so there are               more points of view represented.  Some of the committees we have at present are:
  • Safety Committee:  looks into issues of public safety and security. Tom Russell  represents QBRA on the Town Council's Safety Committee
  • Transportation Committee:  looks into issues involving transportation 
  • Environment Committee:  The town dissolved their Environment Committee but we still have out committee to advise us and the town about environmental issues.
  • Parks and Recreation Committee:  The town dissolved their Parks and Recreation Commission but we still have a committee, many of whom are instrumental in continuing the events that were started by the town's  Commission such as Beach Days and the Mile Swim.

Be Involved in Your Community

The QBRA is just one way to be part of your community.  It is important that all residents become active participants.  Volunteer with the  groups that the community offers (many of them are in our Links page).  Talk to your neighbours about what is going on in our community.  Write to the newspapers and phone the radio stations.  Contact your Town Council and the individual councillors.
