The Boat Ramp Committee formed in September 2016 to advise the Comox Valley Regional District on the maintenance and upgrades to Hornby’s only public access boat ramp located beside the ferry landing at Shingle Spit The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) currently has a license of occupation for the Crown Land where the boat ramp is located and had an engineering assessment done on it several years ago which recommended complete replacement. The Boat Ramp Committee has raised over $10,000 as matching funds for grant applications.
After many years of trying to initiate work on replacing the old boat ramp, significant progress is being made. With the backing and support of CVRD Director Daniel Arbour, funding has been secured which is allowing the project to proceed. Recently an onsite meeting was held at the boat ramp with Engineers, CVRD staff and local representatives to discuss the reconstruction of the ramp. A revised Concept Plan is now being prepared based on these discussions. The revised plan will be available in late spring 2024 for presentation and discussion with Hornby residents.
