Building more complete communities

In 2025, the City undertook a Complete Communities Assessment to better meet the everyday needs of residents and find ways the City can improve and address gaps in our community’s amenities and services.

The project involved community engagement and expert technical analysis to better understand the City’s strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and opportunities for building a more complete community. This study explored land use, housing, amenities, and transportation patterns. The City will use the information from this study to help shape future updates to the Official Community Plan – one of the City’s most important guiding policy documents.

This work is funded through the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Complete Communities Program and builds on the City’s Community Wellbeing Strategy – Complete Communities Strategic Pathway.

Why are we engaging?

Your input will be used to help evaluate the City’s strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and opportunities for building a more complete community. Community input along with geospatial analysis, research, and best practices will be used to inform a future Official Community Plan update to help build a more complete community.
