How can I have my say?  This meeting is a chance to hear about the proposal and to ask questions. 

After this meeting the Community Development staff will present the proposal to the Municipal Planning Advisory Committee (date TBD, in Council Chambers) who will make a recommendation to Municipal Council. Council than holds a Public Hearing to receive feedback from the public on the proposed Development Agreement. Council will then vote on whether to approve the Development Agreement.
