a) Official Community Plan Project
O. Pinho, EcoPlan International, gave a presentation to the Advisory Committees regarding the Official Community Plan (OCP) update including community engagement and where the Town is currently in the process. It was noted that the OCP is a twenty-year plan that sets growth and land use policies for the Town.
Council and staff have identified a few important topics that require updating, specifically:
- housing;
- placemaking;
- climate change;
- transportation;
- local economy; and
- parks, protected areas, and shorelines.
The Advisory Committees discussed encouraging public engagement through mailouts, advertising in newspapers, social media, posting flyers, and through local schools to reach the younger population and families.
Advisory Committee members stated that the on-line survey was well designed and enjoyed participating in the survey.
