The city is inviting residents to help shape its official community plan.
Campbell River is in the process of updating the OCP and has planned events to make it easy to get engaged.
The city will be at the Campbell River Live Streets Rockin’ River Country Night on July 23 from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m.
Staff will also be at the farmers market in Spirit Square on July 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
According to a news release from the city, they will be informal drop-in style events where city staff will be willing to chat and answer questions.
“We heard from many residents early in the process, and now we’re checking back in to share what we’ve learned and where we’re headed,” says Andy Gaylor, director of community planning and livability. “Your input continues to be key in shaping a plan that reflects the community’s values and priorities. Drop by, learn about the OCP process and the highlights from the recent community survey, and provide your feedback on future land use ideas.”
The OCP is a long-term plan that guides how Campbell River will grow and develop over the next 20 years. The city is in the third phase, which is developing a draft plan.
City staff will share highlights from the 2025 community survey, which more than 660 people participated in. The city has published a report on what it heard, which can be found on its website.
