The Official Community Plan (OCP) Review was launched with a Plan your Community Street event in May 2023. Over 175 participants shared their long-term vision and goals for the Village and identified hot topics for further discussion (see the Phase 1 Public Engagement Report).

Project Update

Committee Work

This past fall and winter, Village land use planning staff worked with Council committees to review OCP policies connected to the committees' mandates, including accessibility, social inclusion and equity, heritage protection, and housing. In addition, staff and consultants worked with the Advisory Planning Commission (APC) to develop scenarios of where future growth in the Village should go.

The work of the committees and the APC has helped shape the the growth scenarios and policy options to be presented for discussion with the public at the May 2024 engagement events.

Climate Action Planning

Work on climate action planning, a key component of the OCP review, started in November. Two public engagement events on goals, reduction target and climate actions were held in early February. Community engagement on the proposed climate actions is planned for May 2 and May 7, 2024. Visit the Climate Action Plan project page for more information.

Data collection and mapping analysis

The Village has received provincial grant funding to assist in data collection and mapping analysis of housing diversity, transportation options, proximity to daily needs of residential areas and cost of infrastructure servicing in Cumberland. This work has informed the growth scenarios to be presented at the May 2024 community engagement events.

What does the Cumberland OCP do?

The Cumberland OCP lay out a long-term vision, goals and actions to guide growth and change in the community over 10 years and beyond. The OCP also sets priorities and identifies actions for housing, climate change, economic development, transportation and mobility, infrastructure, heritage protection, arts and culture, food systems, parks and recreation, environmental protection and overall community well-being.
