Kitchener 2051

 

T. Donegani and J. Zunic provided a presentation on Kitchener 2051, the City of Kitchener’s next official plan. The presentation provided background information on what an official plan is and how the project plan intends to engage with the community in developing the plan. Members of Compass Kitchener provided feedback on how the presentation on Kitchener 2051 should be presented at the All-Advisory Committee Meeting to Chairs and Vice Chairs on November 6, 2024. Compass Kitchener members suggested that the project team include activities to facilitate meaningful discussions.

Members of Compass Kitchener discussed and finalized decisions on the evaluation approach, rating, and process. It was confirmed that S.

This feedback will be returned to Compass Kitchener in January, with the intention that the new Compass Kitchener cohort will refine the criteria to ensure they can provide their input as well.
