Editor:
Roberts Creek, here’s your chance to get involved in your community. The Roberts Creek Official Community Plan Committee (OCPC) election for committee members is Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 7:30 p.m. Due to the recent surge in COVID cases in B.C. and our desire to exercise extra caution at this time, the election will take place via this Zoom link: http://bit.ly/3miXXWk (the password is: ocpc).
The OCPC is an elected group of 11 volunteers from Roberts Creek who meet on a monthly basis to ensure that the Roberts Creek Official Community Plan (OCP) is being followed and that it continues to meet the needs of the citizens of Roberts Creek.
OCPs are fluid by nature. The OCPC receives and responds to referrals from the SCRD planning department that may involve issues of rezoning or development, creation of affordable or alternative housing, transportation improvements, or environmental protection. Any Creeker can ask to be on the monthly agenda and bring their concerns to the OCPC for discussion or support. Roberts Creek SCRD director Andreas Tize attends OCPC meetings as our direct link to the SCRD.
Meetings are currently held by Zoom on the third Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. Anyone who has been a resident of Roberts Creek for one year may run as a candidate and any resident of Roberts Creek can vote.
Roberts Creek is the only community in British Columbia with its own OCP Committee. Meetings offer a great chance to help shape your community.

Elaine Futterman,
Chair, RCOCPC
