2180 and 2162 Shawnigan Lake Road

Easter Seals is seeking a rezoning and OCP amendment for its Camp Shawnigan property at 2180 and 2162 Shawnigan Lake Road in Shawnigan Lake, to facilitate a redevelopment of the camp’s facilities. The application is at the Advisory Planning Commission stage for a recommendation to the CVRD Board; no project scale, building form, or site metrics accompany the filing. Easter Seals announced a temporary closure of the camp for the 2026 season to undertake critical improvements, with a new vision for inclusive recreation and accessible respite (https://www.eastersealsbcy.ca/camp-shawnigan-2026-update/). If the APC recommends advancing the bylaw, first reading and a subsequent public hearing could occur in the second half of 2026.

A rezoning application has been submitted for 2180 and 2162 Shawnigan Lake Road in the Cowichan Valley Regional District. The applicant, Easter Seals, seeks to rezone the properties for institutional use. The application will be considered at a public hearing on May 21, 2026; no decision has been announced.
