City Council Review - Whitehorse 2040: Official Community Plan Review
City Council has reviewed the proposed Whitehorse 2040: Official Community Plan. Following their review, they have made a number of amendments which could impact you.
As a result of these changes, a Second Public Hearing was held on November 28, 2022.
Staff will provide a summary of the feedback to Council on January 9th, 2023.
Phase 3a - Emerging Directions: series of workshops where Council reviewed Administration's preliminary policy ideas for the new OCP. Many sources informed the policy ideas, including OCP public input and existing City plans.
