The Christina Lake Official Community Plan (OCP) is under review. We need the community's input!
An OCP sets out an area’s long-term strategy for physical, economic, environmental and social development. Each OCP includes policies that reflect community goals and objectives. Our Board adopts OCPs as formal bylaws.
The current Electoral Area 'C'/Christina Lake OCP Bylaw was passed in 2004, so it's time to go through it and see what still works and what needs to be added or updated.

The Christina Lake Official Community Plan (OCP) is under review. We need the community's input!
An OCP sets out an area’s long-term strategy for physical, economic, environmental and social development. Each OCP includes policies that reflect community goals and objectives. Our Board adopts OCPs as formal bylaws.
The current Electoral Area 'C'/Christina Lake OCP Bylaw was passed in 2004, so it's time to go through it and see what still works and what needs to be added or updated.
The review includes assessing the OCP for whether it meets legislated requirements and whether it still reflects the values that Christina Lake residents hold for how your community will develop in the next ten years. Policies laid out in the OCP will then be reflected in the Zoning Bylaw, when it is updated.
In 2018, a steering committee was formed to undertake the review. This committee meets regularly and consists of community members from Christina Lake, including local business owners, retirees, long-time residents, summer residents and everyone in between. The current committee members are:
Jennifer Horahan, Phil Mody, Kathy O'Malley, Suzanne Paquette, Annie Rioux, Jason Taylor, Dianne Wales, Jeff Sim, and Donna Wilchynski
The committee discusses the ideas and policies in the OCP and propose and discuss changes. The committee members bring guidance through highlighting the desires and concerns of their community.

Phase 2 - Reviewing and Writing
Christina Lake Official Community Plan Review has finished this stage
The Electoral Area 'C'/Christina Lake OCP Steering Committee are meeting and reviewing old and proposed policies to be included in the new bylaw.
Phase 3 - Sharing the Plan
Christina Lake Official Community Plan Review is currently at this stage
Spring and Summer 2022
RDKB will share the work done in the review process at an Open House and ask for community members comments.
Ongoing outreach will happen through sharing materials from Steering Committee meetings. Members of the public are being encouraged to tell their stories online about what they want to see for Land Use Planning at Christina Lake and answering pop up questions throughout summer 2022, around town and online.
Phase 4 - Approving the Reviewed OCP
this is an upcoming stage for Christina Lake Official Community Plan Review
Winter 2022-2023
Once input from the community is incorporated into the OCP draft, it will be sent to the Board of Directors for first and second readings. Between second and third readings, an Open House and Public Hearing will be held for final input from community members on this review.
Following this, the plan can go on to third and fourth reading by the Board of Directors, which is when the OCP Bylaw is approved and enacted.
