About the Camosun Community Association
The CCA is a non-profit society registered in the Province of British Columbia.
Membership
The boundaries of the CCA are as shown in the map below, which was derived from an image presented by the CRD Natural Areas Atlas. Compare this to our old boundaries here as currently mapped by Saanich.
An interesting fact is that our community association falls within no less than three provincial electoral districts, so we have three MLAs working for us!
