Guidebook Update
On February 3, members of Planning and Urban Development Committee voted 7-1 in favour of forwarding Administration’s recommendation to Council to adopt the Guidebook for Great Communities. This endorsement is a giant leap forward in sustainably planning our city with citizens who are living here today and for those citizens who will move here tomorrow.
Next Steps
The Guidebook will be brought forward to Council on March 22, 2021. This public hearing is another opportunity for citizens to speak and voice their thoughts and for Council to ask questions of Administration. This public hearing of Council will include a Council decision.
Resources to help CAs and citizens learn about the Guidebook
