OCP Engagement Events & Activities: February 2024

Thank you, Port Alberni, for providing your feedback and ideas on the Growth Scenarios and Climate Action in February and March. We compiled and analyzed every comment.

DID YOU KNOW we had close to 350 participants in all our OCP engagement activities?

The majority of those engaged supported the concepts highlighted in the Alternative Growth Scenario and strong Climate Action.

The What We Heard Report was presented to Council in mid April and we’re pleased to announce that they have officially accepted and supported the Report, including the Alternative Growth Scenario and GHG Reduction Targets.

What does this mean for the OCP?

  • The Alternative Growth Scenario will inform land use policy development
  • GHG emission targets will be included in the OCP to guide a future climate strategy.
  • The OCP project team will begin drafting policy in May and meet with various organizations on sector specific topics through the spring and summer.
  • The first draft of the OCP will be ready for public engagement in the fall.

For more detailed information, read the Council Report and What We Heard Report.

We look forward to engaging with the public on the draft policies in early fall!

Background Information

VIDEO: What is the Official Community Plan (OCP)?

The Port Alberni OCP maps how our community will develop over the next two decades. This plan shapes the everyday things you experience – like housing, economic development, transportation, land use, how we tackle climate change, and much more.

Snapshot documents

These were developed to highlight the Touchstones created through collaboration with the community in 2022, serving as guiding principles for upcoming policy development.

• Active Lifestyle
• Climate Change
• Diverse, Balanced Economy
• Ecosystem Protection & Leadership
• Healthy, Vibrant, Inclusive Community
• Livability		• Population
• Reconciliation
• Resilient Urban Growth & Development
• Responsible Infrastructure Management
(A Reconciliation Snapshot document will be created in collaboration with Hupača̓sath First Nation & Tseshaht First Nation.)
