The Phase I survey results for the Electoral Area “F” Official Community Plan review are in.

A total of 318 surveys were returned representing a 16% response rate from Area “F” residents. Of the feedback received it was identified that the community is interested in exploring and developing policies that relate to (in no particular order): Agriculture; Parks & Trails; Economic Development; Sense of Place/Overall Vision for Area “F”; and the Natural Environment.

Two focus group discussions are scheduled: one on June 1st at the Grindrod Community Hall (6920 Highway 97A) from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm and one on June 2nd at the Kingfisher Community Hall (3337 Enderby Mable Lake Road) from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm.

“These meetings will be facilitated by RDNO staff and all five topic areas will be covered at each meeting” states Laura Frank, RDNO Sustainability Coordinator.

“The goal of these discussions will be to delve into the topics in greater detail while utilizing the survey feedback as a starting point”. “We hope to explore issues and concerns and identify new policies which will contribute to and reflect area resident’s vision for their future”.

The focus group discussions are open to the general public and everyone is encouraged to participate.
