What does your Sparwood look like in 2035? Would you like to work with others in your community to chart that course for that future? If so, now is your chance to share your opinions, your concerns, and your vision.

The District of Sparwood is inviting interested members of the community to participate in the upcoming Official Community Plan (OCP) review and update. Over the next several months, there will be many opportunities for engagement. However, this initial call for applications may be of particular interest to you. We are looking for a diverse group of representatives from Sparwood to sit on the OCP Steering Committee. Your role will be to work closely with District staff, council, and our consultant through critical stages of the process in this important community initiative. Applications can be found online at www.sparwood.ca/forms, at the District Office, 136 Spruce Avenue, and at the Recreation Centre Office.

Deadline for submissions: April 22.

If you are still interested in shaping the future of Sparwood, but are looking for other ways to contribute, please keep an eye on our website and other media for notice of those upcoming events. There will be opportunities to share your vision on topics such as:

 Transportation

 Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails

 Economic Development

 Downtown Revitalization

 Housing

 Future Land Use

 Growth Management
