Where We Are In The Process

Update

We are currently in Phase 4: Draft Plan Review
This included open house events and a community survey to gather feedback on the Draft Plan. As part of this phase, community stakeholder groups and council advisory committees were also consulted.

As a result of a motion made by one of the council advisory committees, on March 14, 2022, Council considered the planning process and made the motion: “That Council direct Staff to undertake additional work to assess an expanded/more intense Village Centre with the purpose of expanding purpose built rental housing and housing opportunities for a broader range of incomes.”
