JBNA Committees exist as an extension of the Board. Board Committees operate under Terms of Reference which have been approved by the Board. Committees monitor activities within James Bay, research issues, and make recommendations to the general membership.
In addition, JBNA members are actively involved with City of Victoria forums. The membership also advocates for rental and social housing.
2009/2010 Committees include
The DRC holds preliminary meetings with developers to review re-zoning proposals, as required by the CALUCS process. A DRC member reports on the proposal to the members monthly meeting, prior to a developer’s presentation.
The CTC has been involved in discussions with the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. Activities concerning bus and traffic issues associated with Ogden Point.
Public green spaces, including parks and waterfront areas which are integral to the livability of our neighbourhood are the focus for this Committee. Current activities include the redesign of Fisherman’s Wharf Park, the Urban Forest initiative, and the Beacon Hill Park paths improvement program.
The QoL committee is concerned with sustainability and environmental issues which relate to quality of life factors. Substantial research on noise pollution, air-shed quality, and people movement issues has been undertaken. In 2009, residents provided opinion on these issues through a residents survey.
The DDC’s focus on housing and heritage issues, and streetscape inventories for discussion/inclusion in the revised James Bay Neighbourhood Plan.
