Official Plan information session scheduled for November 25

A virtual information session for the draft Official Plan will take place on Wednesday, November 25.

The time for the session has shifted to 5-7 pm to ensure there is sufficient time for the presentation and questions from the public.

Michael Michaud, Manager of Planning, will present an overview of the plan and highlight some of the key proposals before answering questions from registered attendees. To register please email clerks@pecounty.on.ca. The deadline to register is Monday, November 23. The session will be recorded and shared online.

To view the draft Official Plan, visit the Have Your Say public consultation website. There you will also find several forums where you can learn more about each section of the plan and offer feedback. You can also provide written feedback. Mail letters to: County of Prince Edward, Engineering and Development Services, 332 Picton Main Street, Picton, ON K0K 2T0. Public consultation will close on Friday, November 27.

The statutory public meeting for the Official Plan will take place on Tuesday, December 15 at 6 pm. Participation at that public meeting will be virtual and the meeting will stream live on the County's YouTube channel due to COVID-19 safety protocols. Details on how the public can participate will be shared in the coming weeks.

Staff intend to bring the matter forward to Council with a report at a special Council meeting on Wednesday, February 10. Once Council approves the Official Plan, the document is sent to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for review as the Minister has final authority over the Official Plan, which is required under provincial legislation.

If you have questions, please contact Mr. Michaud by email (mmichaud@pecounty.on.ca) or call 613.476.2148 extension 2025.
