Robyn Mawhinney
Regional Director, Strathcona District Area C
Welcome to the official Area C constituency website! Your go-to for information on Area C of the Strathcona Regional District.
I send out a Director’s Report by email to share news, projects, and events from the community and to answer your questions on important issues. There’s a subscription form on this page if you’d like my Director’s Report to land directly in your inbox. Archived reports can be viewed on the Director’s Reports page.
If you have a question (or comment) I’m interested! Communication is key to building community and I look forward to hearing from you. If you’d like to meet with me, please send me an email or give me a call and we can find a time to meet somewhere local, or via a screen, whichever is your preference. Once a month I offer ‘chat with the Director’ at Aroma Café, dates are shared in my Director’s Report and on my Facebook page.

Director’s Report: Surge Narrows store + an OCP update
Hello, Recent hazy skies and ruby sunrises are a sobering reminder of the wildfires burning across BC. My heart goes out to the thousands of British Columbians who’ve had their lives upended, and especially to those who have lost homes, businesses, and farms. The haze also reminds me that we build community safety together, through preparedness and neighbours looking out for one another....
