The Municipality of North Cowichan is continuing to explore the idea of amalgamation with the City of Duncan.

Coun. Maeve Maguire, asked for an update at the Jan. 20 council meeting.

North Cowichan CAO said he’s assigned a staffer to contact the City of Duncan to schedule a meeting to set up the terms of reference.

Maguire then wanted to know if March 31 was still the timeline to report back to a joint meeting of both councils.

Devana called that “a reasonable timeline” but cautioned that the two elected bodies have “not even agreed on the scope of the work” yet.
