We’re growing!

To help achieve an equitable, sustainable and thriving community, the Region has updated its Official Plan. Learn what this plan will do.

We are growing! Our community’s population is expected to reach 923,000 by 2051, and we need to plan how and where we’ll growth to best position us to achieve an equitable, sustainable and thriving community.

On August 18, 2022, Regional Council adopted the growth component of our Regional Official Plan (ROP), which includes adding 121,000 new homes and 15-minute neighbourhoods in both our urban and rural communities. Thanks to all members of the community who took time to participate in this review process!
