Council is being asked to give first, second, and third readings to Business Licence Bylaw No. 3212, 2026, which replaces existing business licence regulations and fee schedules, and authorizes withdrawal from the intermunicipal business licence agreement. The bylaw would establish new fee structures and permit categories; details of the proposed fees and regulatory changes are not available in the extracted materials. Withdrawal from the intermunicipal agreement would require businesses operating in multiple municipalities to hold separate licences. Final reading and adoption would follow the three readings.

A rezoning application for an undisclosed address in Courtenay, BC will be considered at the May 13, 2026 council meeting. The applicant seeks approval for the proposed land use change. An outcome has not yet been determined.
