The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) recently launched our Get Involved platform. All project information for the Area A Official Community Plan (OCP) prior to Phase 4 can be found on the project page(External link) on the SLRD website. 

What is Phase 4?

We are now wrapping up Phase 4 of this project before moving forward with further legislative requirements (second reading, a public hearing, third reading and final adoption). We are updating the DRAFT OCP by summarizing and reflecting engagement results, reviewing referral comments and making changes, and incorporating recent information such as hazard and emergency planning.

Draft OCP

The Draft Area A OCP was developed based on extensive research and public engagement throughout 2022 and 2023. If adopted, the plan would replace the existing Upper Bridge River Valley Official Community Plan (OCP)(External link), which last underwent a major review in 2006 (adopted in 2008). The new OCP considers the current context of Electoral Area A (demographic shifts, housing, employment, etc.), which, along with public input, have helped shape the policy directions of this new plan. The new Area A OCP should capture the priorities, goals, and values of Area A residents and property owners over the next 15 to 20 years.

Phase 4 Public Engagement 

During Phase 4, we had two primary engagement opportunities available to gather community input into the Draft OCP:

  Online Community Survey:

The Online Community Survey was open from February 6-26, 2024.

  Virtual Public Open House:

We hosted an Open House on Tuesday, February 6, 2024 at 6pm.

The Public Open House was a virtual engagement opportunity to gather input into the Draft OCP.
