Welcome!

The City of Salmon Arm is continuing with the review and update of the Official Community Plan (OCP), which was last updated in 2011.

We are pleased to share an early Draft OCP document, shaped by community feedback, technical studies and direction from Salmon Arm City Council.

We need your help to ensure the Draft OCP reflects the community’s vision and priorities.

About the survey
This survey focuses primarily on OCP sections that have seen the most change, or topics the City would like additional community feedback on. This includes the draft sections:

1. Growth Management
2. Urban Residential
3. Rural & Agriculture
4. Environment & Climate Change and Potential Hazard Areas
5. Parks, Recreation & Greenways
6. Economic Development, Commercial and Industrial
7. Implementation

The survey also asks additional questions about the other OCP sections, including:

8. Transportation
9. Arts, Culture, Heritage, Social, and Community Services
10. Utilities & Infrastructure

Note: The OCP will also include a new section on strengthening relationships with local First Nations. This section is currently under review with Adams Lake Indian Band and Neskonlith Indian Band and is not yet available for public comment.

The survey will take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete, depending on the number of topics you choose to respond to. This survey consists mostly of multiple-choice questions and asks for feedback on specific policy changes. If you would like to explore overall key changes or provide descriptive feedback, please complete the OCPizza Party Workbooks.
