New Official Plan - Initial Public Consultation - 2007 Focus Groups

Public participation is vital in the development of a new Official Plan.  Council retained Sue Cumming of Cumming + Company to facilitate stakeholder and community outreach initiatives at the commencement of the new Official Plan preparation in 2007.  The outreach initiatives were intended to:

  • educate the community and stakeholders about the importance of the Official Plan and what it means for them,
  • provide opportunities for the public to share their longer-term vision for the municipality, and
  • enable the public to have meaningful input into the development of the new Official Plan.
These initiatives included holding community workshops and focus group meetings with stakeholders during the summer and fall.
