A whole new game, different players
The Oak Bay United Church has withdrawn the Development Proposal lodged with the District of Oak Bay.
An email to the District of Oak Bay on Sunday February 9th, 2020 included the follow:
As you are aware Oak Bay United Church (OBUC) has been working with the Property Resource Team (PRT) of Pacific Mountain Region of the United Church of Canada, to consider how we might modify our project in a way that it would be supported by the community while meeting congregational objectives.
The PRT presented a proposal to OBUC for developing the site. The proposal was carefully considered by the OBUC Board and congregation. This morning the congregation of OBUC voted to not accept the PRT proposal.
As a result of the vote, OBUC does not have a viable development plan for the church property. Therefore we wish to formally withdraw our development application.

The neighbours look forward to working with the Oak Bay United Church to find a suitable solution to their needs.
