San Pareil Neighbours

San Pareil Owners and Residents Association
(SPORA)

Who we are

We in the San Pareil neighborhood acknowledge that we live on the unceded ancestral land of the Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nation

Working Together To Serve Our Community

The San Pareil Owners and Residents Association (SPORA) is working together to serve and support the communty. We act as a liaison between residents of San Pareil and levels of government (i.e. the Regional District of Nanaimo and provincial ministries) on issues concerning our community. We also strive to create and strengthen community by supporting opportunities for neighbours to socialize with each other.

What We Do

What does SPORA accomplish?

Our goal is to enhance discussion between the
community and government. We focus on issues that affect the lives of our neighbours such as access to the highway, emergency planning and improvements to our local parks.

COMMUNITY ISSUES ASSESSMENT FOR AREA G

Community Issues Assessment for Area G

The RDN is undertaking a Community Issues Assessment for Area G, which includes San Pareil. The Assessment aims to provide residents with an understanding of the current system of governance in the RDN Area G, and to identify whether there are any key issues or emerging trends. Depending on the results of the Community Issues Assessment, further study may be considered to assess ways to address them.

The core Objectives of the Community Issues Assessment for Area G are to:

Identify and describe the different roles, responsibilities and jurisdictions of service providers;

Assemble information on existing service delivery arrangements and governance relationships;

Identify current and emerging issues and pressures related to services as seen by residents;

Better understand how decisions are made and the relationships between service providers;

Provide opportunities for residents, property owners, improvement district and First Nations to articulate the issues they see in Area G; and

Summarize findings for consideration by the RDN Board.

The meeting with the focus on San Pareil, River’s Edge, Martindale Road, Fourneau Way, Wildgreen Way and Coldwater Road will be held on:

Wednesday, May 7th, 6:30 – 8:30, Tigh-Na-Mara
