Official Plan Update Community Engagement

Have your say!

Public feedback is critical to ensuring that the new Official Plan will serve the community well now and for years to come. Planning Staff are preparing a final draft of the new Official Plan based on the community feedback received to-date. Additional consultation will be conducted on the next draft of the new Official Plan prior to presenting the final draft to City Council by the end of 2021.

In the meantime, you can continue to provide comments on the current draft Official Plan online or by writing to us using the mailing address at the bottom of this page (see ‘Contact Us’). If you would like to participate in or keep up-to-date on the Official Plan Update process, please check back here or subscribe to our blog for news updates.
