New Official Plan Public Consultation and Outreach
Steering and Technical Committees and the Stakeholder Focus Group |
| The Steering Committee is comprised of the Mayor and CAO/Administrator of each Lower-Tier, as well as the Warden and CAO of the County. The Technical Committee is made up of various Ministry and Conversation Authority Staff, with expertise in difference subject areas. Staff are working to determine a strategy to engage both committees in an effective and efficient manner. |
Indigenous Peoples Consultation |
| Letters were drafted and sent to five organizations representing First Nation and Metis with interest in land within Perth County. The letter invited questions and comments about the process of developing a New OP and asked if there are particular interests or ways that staff can facilitate dialogue about the project. Whether or not there is interest in this particular project, it is important to get to know one another and build professional relationships with the indigenous groups whose traditional lands are within the boundary of Perth County. |
Public Consultation |
| Strategies for consultation and tools are in very early stages of development, but theme areas are being considered to help break this large document into subject areas that are more digestible by the public. Staff are taking the COVID-19 pandemic into consideration as this may affect the type of consultation that can occur. Some tools and strategies that are being considered include: videos, story maps, webinars and comment cards/polls. |
