If reading a whole Community Wildfire Resilience Plan is your idea of a good time, this report is going to make your evening absolutely terrific.

Created in 1993, this bylaw “generally includes Read, Sonora, Stuart, Maurelle and Rendezvous Islands, Church House and numerous small adjacent islands, the foreshore and surface of the water”.

It’s hard not to love the vintage map…

TimberWest owns TFL 47 which includes much of Quadra’s forested lands. Currently managed by Mosaic, The majority of Quadra Island falls within a Special Management Zone (SMZ).  SMZs “are areas whose management priorities must incorporate identified primary environmental, recreational, and cultural heritage values”.

Quadra Islander Ray Grigg has written a thoughtful analysis of this Forest Stewardship Plan which can be read on Cortes Currents.

The Strathcona Regional District owns and operates the Quathiaski Cove Sanitary Sewerage System. The system was established in response to a voter-approved referendum in 1992/93. The sewer service is provided in accordance with Bylaw 173.

The current treatment plant is nearing the end of its lifecycle: the plant was purchased second-hand in 1994. See a map of the service area, rates, and more on this SRD page.
