A comprehensive report on the final version of the five-year update of the Official Plan will be presented at the planning committee meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16, in Council Chambers at City Hall, 216 Ontario St.

“The presentation will include an overview of the revisions made to complete the plan and the next steps in this project,” says Greg Newman, manager, policy planning.
