Townsite Neighbourhood Review

Project Updates

Archaeological, heritage, and cultural use work is complete! Staff worked with Aquilla Archaeology and Tla'amin Nation to better understand the archaeological, heritage, and cultural uses in the area, and how that might inform future land use designations. Please see here.

We also set up a booth at Townsite Day on July 16. You can see the materials we shared here and in the Document Library.

The Phase 1 Engagement Summary report is available in the Document Library, along with the Phase 2 Engagement Summary report.

Help us create a community vision!

Since adoption of the 2014 Sustainable Official Community Plan Bylaw 2370 (SOCP), the City has purchased more than 230 acres of former mill land in the Townsite designated in the SOCP as Employment Centre, Resource, Waterfront Commercial/Industrial, and Agriculture. Acknowledging public ownership of these significant land holdings, the purpose of this project is to conduct an SOCP neighbourhood review to develop a community vision for these lands and update the land use designation map and Townsite policy sections in response. The engagement process will result in an updated Schedule B Land Use Designations map and revised objectives and policies for section 3.6 Townsite (originally tiskwat) for Council's consideration.
