Access the documents and connect with the planning team at www.planvictoria.ca. These documents are still in draft form and are subject to change based on input that was received from the public.
Next Steps
The final draft documents will go to Council First Reading, followed by a Public Hearing and Second Reading. If passed by Council, the documents will go for final review by the provincial government.
The high cost of food, fuel, heating, electricity, taxes, housing has been tough on so many residents in Victoria County, especially seniors on a fixed income.
Their dollars must stretch further than ever. There’s a number of resources and programs available. But sometimes the biggest challenge is asking for help and acknowledging you need help long-term or even temporary help to get you through the month. Many don’t see themselves as someone who should seek help.
If you, or a senior you know need support, please reach out to Victoria County’s Seniors Safety Coordinator – or connect with 211.
