By 2010 400,000 more people are expected to be living in the Capitol Regional District (CRD) of Victoria. Because of this anticipated growth, development pressures will be placed on Victoria's green space and surrounding recreational areas. If accepted, a proposal to expand the park system within the CRD would help to maintain the vitality and natural beauty of the south Vancouver Island region.
