Introduced at the June 13, 2022 RCM. Consideration of the motion and amendment was deferred to the August 8, 2022 RCM.

 

Attachment: Community Healthcare Support Network Proposal 

• MOVED AND SECONDED

  WHEREAS it is well know there is a doctor and nurse (essential healthcare workers) shortage for residents of Central Saanich; and
   
  WHEREAS it has been documented that doctors, specifically family practitioners, are leaving the CRD, and housing costs are one of the leading reasons.
   
  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff report back on the District of Central Saanich securing housing (SFD, townhome, and/or condo) to allow for a diversity of housing options for possible essential healthcare workers and their families, and other creative solutions to attract and encourage primary healthcare into the District.
   
  THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that as part of the next Strategic Planning process, the District would look into the feasibility of buying and renting units (through a property management firm) to essential healthcare workers at below market rates to encourage family practitioners to move & practice (as a condition) in Central Saanich. These units would remain a District asset for as long as deemed necessary.
