The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) has obtained dates from the Supreme Court of British Columbia for a summary trial regarding ship breaking and other activities in Union Bay. The summary trial is scheduled to take place on November 25, 26, and 27, 2026.
The CVRD filed a Notice of Civil Claim with the Supreme Court of British Columbia on April 14, 2022. An amendment to the Notice of Civil Claim was filed with the Supreme Court of British Columbia on March 25, 2026, expanding the scope of the claim.
As this matter remains before the courts and is an active legal proceeding, the CVRD will provide limited factual updates as permitted.
