City of Chilliwack seeks feedback on Official Community Plan
CHILLIWACK — The City of Chilliwack is seeking input on the official planning document that will help define the city’s long-term vision for the community.
In a statement Monday (Apr. 28), the city says it continues to review its Official Community Plan (OCP) and wants the public to share their feedback on key concepts and draft policy direction. The plan, called Chilliwack 2050, will build on the policy and land use foundations from the 2014 OCP, serving as an opportunity to articulate a vision for Chilliwack, while considering recent changes in housing demands and provincial legislation.
To kick off the next phase of engagement for Chilliwack 2050, residents are welcome to share their perspectives by joining the interactive Futures Fair this Saturday, May 3 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Vedder Park, near the Vedder Bridge. This family-friendly event will feature games, face painting, and food trucks, in addition to the opportunity to share feedback with the City. Throughout the spring, there will be additional opportunities for engagement, such as gathering with friends and family to host an OCPizza Party using a self-directed workbook and by completing an online questionnaire, available until June 1, 2025.
“Thank you to everyone who has already participated in the OCP process. We were able to gather important feedback from phase one, which has been used to develop key concepts and draft policy direction for Chilliwack 2050,” said Mayor Popove. “As we move into this next phase of engagement, I hope everyone will use this opportunity to provide feedback that will help shape our new OCP.”
