Our new OCP envisions and supports a city that protects its natural environment, encourages sustainable transportation choices, pursues accessible and safe parks and community facilities, and guides coordinated, resilient development over time. It was informed by input collected via broad and far-reaching community engagement through multiple phases.

As the City works to achieve our long-term vision, we’ll use a variety of lenses to guide how the community grows and changes. These include our strong focus on climate action and the transition toward a low carbon future, as well as our commitment to inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility. The OCP reaffirms our commitment to advancing Truth and Reconciliation and building effective government-to-government relationships with First Nations.

We respectfully recognize and thank the Coast Salish Nations for their enduring care and guardianship of the land now known as Port Moody, as well as the surrounding waters and skies that sustain us all. We deeply value their continued generosity in sharing their wisdom and cultural teachings with the people and visitors of Port Moody.

The B.C. government requires that municipalities update their OCP every five years. The OCP is a living document that can be amended in between updates to respond to changing conditions and values.
