Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1855, 2025 – Third Reading
Council has given the District’s Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw 1855, 2025 third reading, following the Public Hearing held on November 10, 2025 where community members had the opportunity to provide input. The OCP is a long-term vision that guides how the community will grow and develop. As part of the legislative process, Council considers the OCP Bylaw twice before holding a Public Hearing, and then reads it a third time after reviewing public feedback.
District staff will now collaborate with the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) to review the Bylaw and confirm that it aligns with required goals and guidelines. Once the ALC has completed its review and provided endorsement, Council will consider the Bylaw for a final time and proceed with adoption.
