Official Community Plan
After more than 24 months of visioning, policy review, drafting and continuous public engagement with hundreds of Squamish residents aged 8 to 80, the District of Squamish Official Community Plan (OCP) update process is complete.
The OCP was adopted on June 5, 2018 (read the Report to Council). The Official Community Plan bylaw and land use schedules are available on the District's Civic Web site.
