Official Community Plan Process: Concerns
The City of Victoria has begun public consultation for a new 10-year Official Community Plan (OCP). This city-wide plan replaces local area planning at the scale of individual neighbourhoods. However, the GNA believes the city's survey was skewed in such a way that the response could only result in biased survey results. The GNA endorses the Rockland Association's critique of the OCP public survey, which you can see by clicking here.
More information about the OCP can be found by clicking here,
Homeless Sheltering at Gonzales Beach and Pemberton Parks
Recent decisions at city hall mean that sheltering in the city is now officially limited to just three city parks with washrooms, of which two (Gonzales Beach and Pemberton) are in our neighbourhood. Council has a plan to try to eliminate camping in parks, but this plan got off to a rocky start at Irving Park. Click here for more information about what this means for our parks.
