Failure to update the current Municipal Development Plan Bylaw No. 37-2007 may result in land use planning decisions that do not align with provincial statutes and municipal plans and reports.
The update to the Municipal Development Plan Bylaw No. 37-2007 will conform to all strategic priorities outlined in Council Strategic Plan 2016-2020.
