Association to join Smart Growth BC

On Wednesday the membership voted for the Association to become a member of Smart Growth BC. Director John Cuthbert is paving the way for our application, (is "paving the way" an acceptable Smart Growth term?) in consultation with Tom Lancaster and your Board.
The Association will benefit from a workshop led by Smart Growth BC staff. We hope to fix a date for this workshop very soon. It will most probably be on a Saturday.
Your Board proposes to invite Mayor Johnston, current and prospective Councillors, plus key municipal staff members to attend and participate - or if they prefer, to attend as observers. The Board and Smart Growth BC staff both feel it is important to make this workshop as inclusive as possible. With good will on all sides, true Smart Growth principles could be embedded in our OCP. Members, please post comments to let us know how you feel about this.

  • This is excellent news -- from what I've seen of Smart Growth BC, it should be a great match. Well done!
