New Draft Official Plan Council Meeting Cancelled

The Town has released a memorandum announcing the deferral of the adoption of the Town’s new Official Plan. This decision comes after a statement released by Paul Calandra, Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing earlier this week. Minister Calandra will soon be introducing legislation to reverse Official Plan decisions and wind back provincial changes to a number of new Official Plans, including the Region of York Official Plan.

The Planning Act requires that the Town’s Official Plan conforms to the Official Plan of the Region so until further clarity is received from the province regarding the York Region Official Plan the decision was made to delay the adoption of the Town’s Official Plan.
 
The Council meeting originally scheduled for November 1, 2023 at 2 p.m. has been cancelled.  The new Official Plan will be brought forward to Council for adoption at a later date.
