Official Community Plan (OCP)
THANK YOU for your ideas to help frame the OCP
We asked you this question:
"What topics are important to address for the OCP? Share best practices or examples with the Focus Group."
Here’s what we know so far:
We received 66 unique ideas online and engaged directly with the community at the Farmer’s Market, Soup and a Smile, Revelstoke Parent group, the Food Bank, and in several high school classrooms.
What We Heard Report
The project team is currently working on a What We Heard Report to capture your thoughts and summarize what you said. Your ideas will help the Focus Group and determine what main ideas need to be addressed in the OCP.
Later this Fall, when the policy review work begins, these ideas will also inform those policy areas that will need to be considered.
What’s coming next?

Meet OCP Focus Group Member - Jane McNab!
Senior's Representative
I was involved with the OCP through the Advisory Planning Commission for about 15 years. Through experience, I witnessed that it’s important to have the community involved with the OCP creation, because they know what’s going on and have ideas for improvement.
A robust plan is essential at all times but especially now, as the community is rapidly changing. It’s important to have a plan to address the imbalance occurring between the needs of the permanent residents and the developers and helps re-establish the community’s confidence in the City of Revelstoke.
What I ❤ about Revy!
I love the size of Revelstoke and that so many people feel connected to the community and want to be involved in different aspects of life. People are interested in what's going on and have opinions and are often motivated to act on those opinions. I also love the access to the outdoors and all the different ways of enjoying it.
