MODL 2040
The Municipality has been progressively working on a land use planning project called MODL2040. The project was launched in 2020 and is a multi-year campaign to amend strategic planning documents such as the Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB) based on a shared vision for the Municipality up to the year 2040.
As part of the MODL2040 project, all areas of the municipality will be zoned. This new zoning will affect every property in the municipality. Sign up for email updates on the project (on the right side of your screen) and you'll receive an email with information as it becomes available.
