Steering committee meetings will be announced to the public and noticed as public meetings. Staff is looking into the possibility of holding steering committee meetings in the Council Chambers in order to televise meetings, similar to City boards and commissions. Staff and the consultant team intend to engage additional boards and commissions directly, during their standing meetings.

Progress Update:
The consultant team from NEOO and Stantec, along with several City staff, hosted a kick-off event at Greenvale Elementary School on October 28, 2023, which was the last scheduled event of the Discovery Phase of the planning process. The Community Profile is complete and ready to share/post, and the StoryMap is also ready to post. The consultant team have also provided the Equity Policy Framework Methodology, the final deliverable of the Discovery Phase. While the original project schedule showed the Discovery Phase ending in September, progress is approximately two months behind.
