Want to get involved in your community? Here’s your chance. The Roberts Creek Official Community Plan Committee (OCPC) will be holding elections for committee members on Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at Roberts Creek Hall.
The OCPC is an elected group of 11 volunteers who meet on a monthly basis to ensure that the Roberts Creek Official Community Plan (OCP) is being followed, that it remains current, and that it continues to meet the needs of the citizens of Roberts Creek. It is an independent body that gives feedback directly to the SCRD.
Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month, 7 p.m. at the Community School and are open to the public. Anyone who has been a resident of Roberts Creek for one year may run as a candidate and any resident of Roberts Creek may vote.
OCPs are fluid by nature. The OCPC receives and responds to referrals from the SCRD that may involve issues of development, affordable land and housing, changing demographics, and the environment. Creekers can ask to be on the monthly agenda to bring their concerns to the OCPC for discussion or support. Roberts Creek SCRD director Andreas Tize attends OCPC meetings and receives feedback on issues that affect Roberts Creek.
Roberts Creek is the only community in British Columbia with its own OCP committee. Meetings offer a great chance to have a say in your community.
To get more involved, come to the Roberts Creek Hall on Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. to either run for an OCPC position or vote. For more information about the OCPC, email Elaine Futterman: [email protected]
