Join us at a community dialogue session to provide input on the Official Community Plan

How will our community evolve over the next 30 years? As part of Port Moody 2050, our process to gather public input and draft updates to our city’s Official Community Plan, we invite you to join us at a community dialogue session in February 2023. Visit Engage Port Moody, our online public engagement hub, to learn more and register to participate. 

We’re hosting four sessions – three in-person and one online – to provide an opportunity for residents to learn about proposed key directions for Official Community Plan (OCP) updates and engage in round-table discussions with other attendees on topics of interest such as:

• neighbourhood character;
• community amenities;
• parks and open space;
• transportation and mobility;
• housing; and
• economic development. 

The Port Moody 2050 Community Dialogues are happening on the following dates:

• Thursday, February 2, 2023 from 6-8pm in the Civic Centre Galleria (100 Newport Drive);
• Saturday, February 4, 2023 from 2-4pm in the Wellness Room at the Port Moody Recreation Complex (300 Ioco Road);
• Wednesday, February 8, 2023 from 7-9pm in the Civic Centre Galleria (100 Newport Drive); and
• Monday, February 13, 2023 from 7-9pm online (virtual) via Zoom. 

Please visit the Port Moody 2050 project page at engage.portmoody.ca to register for the session that best fits your schedule. Free childcare will be available on a first come, first served basis at all in-person community dialogue sessions – please call 604-469-4556 to register for this service. 

The proposed key directions for OCP updates have been informed by public input received during previous engagement opportunities. At Engage Port Moody, you can read engagement summaries that capture what we heard from the community when we asked for feedback on:

• the vision and goal statements in the 2014 Official Community Plan (community survey #1);
• key themes and topics identified by people who participated in early phases of engagement (community survey #2); and
• land use scenarios for the Moody Centre TOD Area, Oceanfront District, Murray Street, and Seaview (community survey #3). 

Port Moody’s OCP is our long-term vision for the future, a living document that’s shaped by the people who live here. This plan is important because it communicates our values and guides us as we make decisions about how we use land for housing, transportation, parks, environmental protection, economic development, and more. 

We want to hear your voice – join the conversation at one of our community dialogue sessions! Your input will inform Council’s decision-making as they consider proposed updates to the Official Community Plan. If you have a question about Port Moody 2050, please email 2050@portmoody.ca.
