Help Shape the Future of the Sunshine Coast

Tags:  2026 | News Release
Date Released: March 5, 2026

What do you want the Sunshine Coast to look like in the next 5, 10, or even 20 years? Where should new homes go, or not go? How do we balance growth with protecting the environment? And what kinds of housing feel right for your neighbourhood? 

These are the kinds of questions the SCRD is exploring as part of Phase 2 of the Official Community Plan (OCP) Renewal Project and we want to hear from you. 

Join Us at a Community Workshop 

We’re hosting two workshop dates in March, each offering two sessions so you can pick the time that works best for you: 

Pender Harbour Community Hall — Wednesday, March 11 

  • 6:00–7:30 pm
  • 7:30–9:00 pm 

Gibsons & Area Community Centre (Room 209) — Tuesday, March 31 

  • 6:00–7:30 pm
  • 7:30–9:00 pm 

If you think you’ll drop by, please take a moment to RSVP here: SCRD Official Community Plan Phase 2 Community Workshop RSVP 

You don’t have to RSVP, but it really helps us plan staffing and refreshments (we don’t want to run out of cookies and coffee!) 

Want a Quick Overview First? 

We’d love it if you could spare 17 minutes and 59 seconds to watch our presentation about the OCP and what Phase 2 is all about. You can also explore lots of background material at: letstalk.scrd.ca/ocp-renewal.

The name says it all, Official Community Plan. It’s about our community, and your voice is essential.
