Downtown Improvement Project

With your help, we’re reimagining the area around the downtown as we plan for future growth and look for opportunities to:

• add more housing choices
• enhance accessibility
• support job growth
• make it easier to walk, cycle, or roll through the area.

We’re back with a new round of public engagement that builds on the opportunities and challenges identified by the community during Council Meetings held in October. It’s not too late to get involved!

In this round of engagement, you will have an opportunity to identify arts, culture, and heritage assets in the area, share your preferences for new housing options and their potential locations, and to comment on potential locations for new shops and services. There are a number of ways to get involved in this phase of public engagement:

• Community survey (See below, Open until March 15)
• Interactive open house:
  • 5:30-8:30 pm, Feb. 1 at The Community Center
  • 1-4 pm, Feb. 4 at The Community College
  • 5:30-8:30 pm, Feb. 6 at Downtown Public Library
  • 6:00-8:00 pm, Feb. 9 at Town Hall
• Mobile community office:
  • Check back for dates throughout the month of February

We have a range of accessibility supports and translation / interpretation services available. We want to make sure everyone has a chance to have their say. If you require any assistance please let us know.
