YG220K engagement events announced

On Oct. 22, a Combined Open House and Public Information Centre for the new Official Plan (OP) and the Water & Wastewater Master Plans and Pollution Prevention & Control Plan (WWMP) projects is planned. This session will also share updates on the Integrated Mobility Plan (IMP), ahead of a dedicated Public Information Centre in November.

This is a great opportunity for you to provide feedback on the City’s long-term vision for land-use policies, transportation planning and water and wastewater infrastructure.

At this meeting, we’ll share highlights of the first draft of the OP, provide an update on the Integrated Mobility Plan, including progress to date, and discuss how these plans will guide Kingston’s development and transportation network for the coming years. We’ll also be sharing how the new Water & Wastewater Master Plans and Pollution Prevention & Control Plan project will align with the OP and IMP and create additional capacity to support the city’s growth. Your feedback is crucial as we move forward with the next steps in the planning process.

There are other engagement opportunities in the fall, in addition to the Open House on Oct. 22. Details are below and more information will be shared as it is confirmed.
