OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN (OCP)
OUR
MISSION
To serve as a volunteer group of residents that actively engages on significant issues related to Halfmoon Bay land development and its impact on the community and environment, and advocates for land use in alignment with the Official Community Plan.
We will achieve this by acting as a community focal point and liaising with experts, governments and community groups on issues of interest, to advocate for effective practices, policies and laws.
ABOUT THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FORUM
The Community Development Forum (CDF) was formed by a group of residents in 2022 in response to community concerns about development and land use in Halfmoon Bay. Its purpose is to uphold the vision and intent of the Official Community Plan.
The CDF focuses on issues impacting on, or of interest to, neighborhoods and the wider Halfmoon Bay community, and does not address highly localized issues. The CDF’s ability to work on community issues is dependent on the capacity of volunteers.
