The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) is now looking to get more public input as it relaunches a community planning process that started over two years ago.
A series of open houses is set to be held across the Rockyview plan area for a more unified western portion of Electoral Area C, including Cranbrook South and Gold Creek.
The process entails updating the Rockyview Official Community Plan (OCP) and combining it with the Moyie and Area OCP, merging the Wycliffe Zoning Bylaw with Electoral Area C South’s, and possibly adding Perry Creek and Old Town residents into the consolidated OCP.
“Public engagement is the foundation of success in a planning process, and we are hoping to see a strong turnout to the Open Houses over the coming weeks,” said Electoral Area C Director Rob Gay.
“We have a total of six Open Houses planned that will be held both in person and via Zoom to encourage as much participation as possible.”
Residents can share their thoughts at the following town halls:
- October 25, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Moyie Community Hall
- October 27, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Cranbrook Senior Citizens Hall
- November 1, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Cranbrook Senior Citizens Hall
- November 3, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Cranbrook Senior Citizens Hall
- November 6, 7 to 9 p.m. online via Zoom
- November 18, 4 to 6 p.m. at the Moyie Community Hall
More details are available through the District’s engagement portal. A draft OCP is expected to be complete for review by the RDEK Board of Directors and the public in early 2026.
