April 8 Official Plan Open House Postponement

Over the last week, the City has heard community feedback about the timing of a Special Council Meeting on March 31 and a Virtual Open House on April 8 regarding the new Official Plan project. In response to that feedback, we previously cancelled the March 31 Special Council Meeting and are now announcing that the planned April 8 Virtual Open House is also postponed.

We will share details when a new date is confirmed as soon as we are able to.

The Official Plan will guide land use and growth in the City for the next 25 years. It’s essential we get it right, both in policy and in process and it’s vital that community members feel they have been heard.

This is why we have made the decision to slow down and give the Natural Heritage Study time to progress.

In the meantime, we have opened up a new question form to keep the conversation going. If you had questions you wanted to ask at either event, please submit them. The project team will review all public feedback received and will be preparing a feedback and response document once we’ve had an opportunity to holistically review all feedback.
