The Town of Gibsons is updating its Official Community Plan (OCP)!

OCP’s are critically important guiding documents which direct future land use, and growth, as well as conservation. 

Local governments generally update their OCPs once every ten years. Gibsons’ OCP was last updated in 2015. Before concurrent droughts, heat domes and atmospheric rivers became the annual norm.

The OCP update process is a vital opportunity for community members to have their say about how their town will grow and change over the next decade, and to ensure sustainability, ecosystem protection, and climate resilience over the long term. 

Community input is essential in ensuring OCPs and bylaws contain strong commitments for the preservation of ecological values and natural assets, direct growth away from environmentally sensitive areas and foster sustainable development. 

We strongly encourage community members to participate in their OCP engagement processes.

Let’s come together to shape a sustainable future for Gibsons!
