What is an Official Community Plan? In British Columbia, an OCP is a long-range plan that sets out policies for how a community will accommodate population growth. By 2045, an additional 20,000 people are expected to move to our community. Our new OCP will reflect our community vision for how our neighbourhoods and transportation networks can be enriched and improved to best support our growing population. This Plan will cover the following topics:
Housing and neighbourhood development
Transportation and infrastructure
Recreation, parks and trails
Climate and environmental stewardship
Economic development
What is a Transportation Plan? The Transportation Plan guides how our community’s transportation system, such as roads, public transit, and bike and walking paths, will grow and develop in line with the OCP. The Transportation Plan will outline how we move and connect to all the places we go safely and efficiently, while making life better for everyone in our community.
