Plan Victoria is a project to create a Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law for all areas of the Municipality of the County of Victoria. Access the documents and connect with the planning team at www.planvictoria.ca. These documents are still in draft form.
Revisions and First Reading
Revised draft documents have been prepared by Upland Planning & Design Studio for 2024-2028 Victoria County Council to review, incorporating feedback from previous reviews. After Council has had an opportunity to review them, these documents will then go to First Reading.
Background
In February 2024, Victoria County launched its first budget survey to gather direct community input for the 2024-2025 municipal budget. With 271 responses, the survey insights were shared with Council at the outset of budget deliberations and used to guide decisions. For the 2025-2026 fiscal year, survey responses will continue to inform the budgeting process.
In addition to completing this survey online (link below), residents will find a paper copy of the Budget Survey in the latest News & Views municipal newsletter that can be filled in and returned. Prefer to complete the survey by phone? Give Chief Financial Officer, Alix Redden, a call at (902) 295-3651.
Responses will be accepted until February 24, 2025.
