Email planning@colwood.ca to request a pre-application meeting.
- Staff will aim to schedule a pre-application meeting within 10-business days of receiving a request for a meeting including all requirements listed below.
- Pre-application meetings are limited to 30-minutes unless, the file manager determines the proposal or nature of your questions warrants a longer discussion.
