Where an Official Community Plan outlines the vision and goals for a community, zoning implements this vision and these goals. Zoning bylaws regulate how land, buildings and other structures may be used.

Following the adoption of the Official Community Plan Bylaw No.1587 (2025) on July 14, 2025, the District is working to update the Zoning Bylaw to ensure it aligns with the new OCP, with the aim to have it in place by the end of 2025.

The current Zoning Bylaw No.1255 (2011) remains in effect until the new zoning bylaw review process is finished.

More details to come, please stay tuned.
