Key Dates

We want to hear from you on proposed policy changes to help shape growth and create great public spaces in the Town Centre. At the White Rock Community Centre (Presentation Hall) from 6:00pm-8:00pm. Come share your input on draft policy directions that build on public input received at the Town Centre design workshops held in July 2019. An online survey will be available at talkwhiterock.ca for those unable to attend the public open house.

Come check out the draft Waterfront Enhancement Strategy! At the White Rock Community Centre (Art Room) from 6:00pm-8:00pm. We want to hear from you on this proposed 'road map' for City actions and initiatives over the next 10-20 years in the Waterfront / Marine Drive area. Attendees will be asked to act as 'Mayor for the Day', by using play money to share how you would budget resources on the top Waterfront issues as identified through previous public and business consultation. We will also ask for your thoughts on the value and effectiveness of specific proposed initiatives in the Strategy. A full copy of the draft Strategy is available in the documents library, and if you are unable to attend either November 24 or November 26, an online survey will be available.

2:00pm to 4:00pm (for businesses), 6:30pm-8:30pm (all public), at the White Rock Community Centre

This workshop-style event is a chance to roll up your sleeves and use your creative ideas to shape the future of the City's Waterfront / Marine Drive area, with a design team and other members of the community.

5:00pm to 9:00pm at the White Rock Community Centre.

The workshop is open to the public and there will be display boards and interactive activities for all attendees with no need to register.

For those interested in a more hands-on session facilitated by our design consultants, there will be two activities which require registration, in order to ensure there is enough time for all participants at the table to contribute.

The activities which require registration are 'Design Town Centre' and 'Build Town Centre'.

'Design Town Centre' is a graphic facilitated table station where participants will share their ideas and input for the Town Centre in a plan view (two-dimensional).
'Build Town Centre' is a model block facilitated table station where participants can use the blocks to explore their ideas for building heights, open spaces and massing for future development in the Town Centre (three-dimensional).

There will be three rounds where both 'Design' and 'Build' activities are going at the same time. You can register for one, or both of the activities. The options are:

Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - 5:20-6:20pm
Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - 6:30-7:30pm
Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - 7:40-8:40pm

Please register by emailing planning@whiterockcity.ca with your preferred date/time slot and activity by July 5, 2019. If you register for a time slot that is at capacity, we will respond with alternative times that are still available.
