If you are a Lac La Hache resident, the Cariboo Regional District wants to hear from you.
The CRD is currently undertaking a review of the Lac La Hache Area Official Community Plan (OCP) and a number of opportunities have been identified for the community to help develop and contribute.
A community survey is now available and can be completed online or on paper. Please visit cariboord.ca and select the Lac La Hache OCP link on the home page to take the survey or visit the CRD offices located in 100 Mile House or Williams Lake to pick up a paper copy. The survey is open until April 15, 2016.
Earlier this year, the CRD launched the process to update the Official Community Plan (OCP) for the Lac La Hache area. The existing Plan was adopted in 1997 and many site specific changes have taken place since then.
“I strongly encourage all residents within the Lac La Hache OCP area to have your say and complete a survey,” states Electoral Area G Director and CRD Chair Al Richmond. “This is an important process for the community and we want to ensure we develop an updated plan that will meet the needs and wishes of its residents now and for the future.”
Once the update is completed, the document will align community values, aspirations and perspectives for growth within the Lac La Hache Area governed by the OCP. The OCP will identify or include economic development opportunities, an agriculture policy, shoreland management standards, environmental protection and climate change.
The OCP update is expected to be completed this fall.
