Back in February, Ladysmith council selected the firm CitySpaces Consulting Ltd. to carry out the suite process.
Their proposal included: Community education, three neighbourhood forums (topic-based — sustainable, affordable housing, secondary suite forms), telephone survey (200), one community session and a webpage.
The budget proposal was $39,515, which was within the $40,000 allocated by council.
