Victoria, BC – The Capital Regional Hospital District (CRHD) is launching the second round of public engagement on the future use of the Oak Bay Lodge property at 2251 Cadboro Bay Road, starting today until August 6, 2021.
The CRHD is seeking feedback on proposed services and building options for the property. The options presented are informed by a regional healthcare assessment in collaboration with Island Health. As well, feedback from participants in round one of public consultation provided valuable input to the CRHD on key healthcare priorities.
“The CRHD is focused on improving healthcare facilities in the region,” said CRHD Board Chair Denise Blackwell. “The redevelopment of Oak Bay Lodge is an opportunity for us to meet the growth and demands of the future and to ensure individuals and families have the care they need. We look forward to hearing from the community on options for this next phase of engagement.”
There are multiple ways to participate in this engagement process, including submitting a feedback form and signing up for an online open house on July 20 and July 22, 2021. The open house will have a presentation and an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments. A discussion guide and materials are available on the project website at www.crd.bc.ca/oakbaylodge.
After this round of engagement, a rezoning application will be submitted to the District of Oak Bay for consideration.
The former Oak Bay Lodge property is currently under demolition until the end of 2021.
A corporation of the CRD, the Capital Regional Hospital District partners with Island Health and community stakeholder agencies to develop and improve healthcare facilities in the Region, including replacing buildings that have reached the end of their economic and functional life. Through capital and other community investments, the CRHD supports a healthy, vibrant and livable region for all citizens.
