A round of applause in gratitude to the 500+ citizens who asked the Mayor and Council Plan for All Citizens by making changes to the Centre Plan before adopting it.

- Protect and create affordable housing;
- Create 3-D models for public consultation in advance of adopting the Plan;
- Reduce demolitions – promote renovation and in-fill for distributed density;
- Reduce ‘extreme’ densification by lowering proposed building heights in Corridors, Targeted Growth Areas etc.;
- Create and protect public parks – we need public open space!
- Tackle the climate crisis with carbon budgets for all building/construction & operations;
- Require public amenities such as daycares, community centres, recreational facilities etc.
Be proud that you are on the public record as a person that supports a plan with a vision. We hope you’ll continue to ask the Mayor and Council to amend the plan and create more balance between the interests of society and thoes of private developers.
