Have your say on Victoria’s official community plan

The City of Victoria is updating its Official Community Plan this year. The province requires all BC municipalities to update their OCP every five years with a vision for the next 20 years. Victoria — facing a changing climate, growing population and a profound shortage of housing — is looking for input from the public and business community to help shape the next plan.

“Decisions on where housing, businesses and parks should go, how we move around the city and ways Victoria can respond to the climate crisis are all determined by the OCP,” states the city’s website. “If the City was a train, the OCP would be its conductor leading the way.”

Community engagement will continue until September and plans currently include an open house, a survey, pop-up events in the city and an online information session.
