Campbell River council has endorsed the Communications and Engagement Strategy Update for the Official Community Plan, with a recommendation that online access to OCP presentations be included.
The City is conducting a comprehensive review and update of its OCP to guide growth and development in the community over the next 20 years.
The OCP is the strategic vision for the future of Campbell River, guiding how neighbourhoods are designed, how people move around the community, how land is used, and the amenities the City provides.
The last full review of the OCP took place in 2012, with minor updates made in 2015.
Since then, Campbell River has experienced rapid growth and other significant changes, making this review timely for addressing the community’s current priorities.
The Province requires municipalities to review and update their OCPs by December 31, 2025.
More information regarding engagement opportunities will be shared with the public in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Council also received the annual Tactical Plan for 2025 from the Economic Development Department.
It’s an action plan that builds on the strategic goals that are laid out in the department’s five-year rolling strategic plan.
Objectives include expanding the business training for The Rail Yard Market vendors to include other small businesses, developing a work plan for the Municipal Investment Attraction Readiness Program, preparing the department’s 2026-2030 Strategic Plan, supporting key sector industries, exploring opportunities to support innovation and a future-ready workforce, and more.
