Maybe city staff is equally cynical, explaining how little effort is going into the consultation process around the big OCP review that was supposed to happen this year.
If there’s one thing that’s made me cynical about civic politics it’s how useless the Official Community Plan is.
At last week’s city council meeting, it was announced the OCP public engagement would amount to an online survey and one public engagement open house on Tuesday, October 17 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Two Rivers Gallery. If there’s a town that wants a vision, it’s Prince George. With a homeless crisis downtown, loss of greenspace, and out of control taxes, among other things, I’m pretty sure people have a lot to say in how we envision this city.
A little over a year ago, we packed the city council chambers to send a message that one of the most loved greenspaces in the city and the unstable escarpment above it should be protected in anticipation of climate change impacts.
