Join Us and Help Plan Your County

We are hosting workshops across the County asking residents for their input to help guide the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) review. See the 'Upcoming Events' list on the right side of this page for dates and locations.

All workshops are from 6pm to 8pm and will be held throughout the month of May.

The workshops build on the previous consultation that was conducted last spring. The 2024 workshops will focus on elements of the MDP that relate to the priorities that participants identified in Phase 1 of consultation: Low taxes, Community and People, Recreation and Nature, and Agriculture.

Format

The format of the workshop is a presentation followed by a guided activity where participants will be involved in group discussions and a mapping exercise.

If you are unable to arrive at the start time, or stay for the entire workshop, feel free to drop in and a member of County staff will provide you with information and assist you in joining the workshop for the time that you are available.

Workbooks

If you are unable to attend a workshop, you can participate by completing the Workbook. The Workbook can be found in the 'Document Library' on the right side of this page. There will also be physical copies and drop-off locations across the County.

The Workbook provides background on the project and previous consultation. It asks respondents questions relating to the same topics as the workshops.

While the workshops consist of a more open discussion without proposed policy options; the Workbook contains specific policy options for respondents to consider. The intent is to provide Workbook respondents with something specific to respond to and to provide context for them to base their comments on, since they will not have a facilitator to assist them.

Workbooks need to be submitted by June 14th, 2024.

What's Next?

The feedback from the workshops and Workbook will be summarized in a 'What We Heard Report' that will be made available in July, 2024.

County staff will use the feedback to guide them as they prepare a draft update to the Municipal Development Plan.

There will be a third Phase of consultation to get public feedback on the draft.
