Regional Context Statements
The growth strategy Shaping Our Future 2040 is a policy document that provides a regional framework for managing growth and land use to create more sustainable and resilient communities. The detailed policies and regulations that define permitted land uses continue to be found within the Official Community Plan (OCP) and zoning bylaws.
To ensure consistency between a growth strategy and an OCP, each member municipality incorporates a Regional Context Statement into their OCP to identify the relationship between the OCP and the matters addressed in the strategy. Following the adoption of Shaping Our Future 2040, on May 14, 2024, each municipality will update and submit their Regional Context Statements within two years. It must be accepted by the RDN Board of Directors.
