Metchosin is rural by design: large lots, working farms, and a council whose land-use decisions have consistently been about holding that pattern against regional growth pressure on every side. Agricultural land, parks and trails, and how a municipality with almost no commercial tax base pays for its services are the questions its council keeps returning to.
Everyone confirmed to be running in Metchosin in the 2026 municipal election. Each of them is sent the same questionnaire on transit, housing, climate, arts, and the rest of what a council decides, and a candidate's own page shows how each of their answers was graded.
