Engagement Process

Developing the Plan

The Chinook Communities Local Area Plan was developed over a 2-year period with thousands of participants. From Winter 2023 to Fall 2024, we engaged with residents, business owners, community associations, development industry representatives, and a diverse working group that provided in-depth insights and feedback. 

Throughout the project: 

  • Over 1,200 people participated online or in-person. 
  • Over 2,400 ideas and contributions were collected across all phases. 
  • 51 engagement sessions were held (including public sessions and targeted engagement sessions) 
  • 115 days of multi-week, multi-input online engagement opportunities.

The Plan followed the below phased approach:

  • Phase 0: DISCOVER

    Pre-project research, awareness building, and knowledge transfer.

  • Phase 1: ENVISION

    Looking back at the past, understanding the present and envisioning the future.

  • Phase 2: EXPLORE

    Exploring where and how growth and change could happen in the area.

  • Phase 3: REFINE

    Refining the plan and confirming the investment priorities.

  • Phase 4: REALIZE

    Committee and Council review and decision.
