OCP open houses coming soon

The RDEK will be hosting a series of open houses for the Rockyview official community plan.

The new OCP involves updating the current OCP and combining it with the Moyie and area OCP.

It will also merge the Wycliffe zoning bylaw and Electoral Area C South zoning bylaw.

“Public engagement is the foundation of success in a planning process, and we are hoping to see a strong turnout to the Open Houses over the coming weeks,” said Regional District of East Kootenay Electoral Area C Director Rob Gay.

“We have a total of six Open Houses planned that will be held both in person and via Zoom to encourage as much participation as possible.”

Open Houses will be held:
• Saturday, October 25, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Moyie Community Hall
• Monday, October 27, 4:30-7:30 p.m. at the Cranbrook Senior Citizens Hall
• Saturday, November 1, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Cranbrook Senior Citizens Hall
• Monday, November 3, 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Cranbrook Senior Citizens Hall
• Thursday, November 6, 7-9 p.m. online via Zoom
• Tuesday, November 18, 4-6 p.m. at the Moyie Community Hall

A draft of the updated bylaw is expected to complete in early 2026.
