About the Official Community Plan (OCP) review

The District of North Saanich has been engaging with District residents on their vision for the future of North Saanich through our OCP. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share your interests and ideas with the North Saanich planning team during the many engagement sessions held over the last few months and years.

Building from this work, a proposed OCP outline, vision, goals and objectives went before Council in December and was referred to the Council Committees for input. A first draft of the OCP is anticipated to come before Council in March. Further public engagement will occur at that time. Stay tuned!

Outlined below are our principles for engaging with District residents:


RESPONSIVENESS
District Staff commit to being accessible to residents one-on-one, and through a range of engagement activities ranging from open houses to pop-ups in the community.


CLARITY

District Staff commit to drafting policies with a clear link to the problem to be solved, the benefit to be had, and the connection of any policy to community input or Council direction.


EFFICIENCY

District Staff commit to an efficient process that values the time of residents and recognizes the contributions made during earlier phases of the OCP review.
