What's going on?

We are updating our 2016 Official Community Plan (OCP). Why?

  • Our community is growing

  • The climate and economy are changing

  • We have plans for community facilities, housing, and infrastructure

  • New lands have been acquired.

An updated OCP will provide a clear, detailed coordination of our work going forward and help make sure we continue to manage Toquaht Lands according to Toquaht values.

What's an OCP?

An Official Community Plan (OCP) is basically collection of policies, procedures, and maps that guides how we steward, develop, and manage Toquaht Lands. It considers many things related to our lands: culture, housing, economic development, infrastructure, climate change issues like sea level rise, etc. Our updated OCP will be guided by Toquaht culture and values.

Who's working on it?

You are! Participation from Citizens is very important and there will be various opportunities for Citizen engagement throughout the project, including youth and Elders. Stayed tuned for opportunities to get involved.

An OCP Advisory Group has been brought together to help lead this project, made up of Toquaht staff and leadership.

This work is also being supported by EcoPlan International, a Vancouver-based community planning firm.
