Official Community Plan Update
The City of Chilliwack is continuing to update our Official Community Plan (OCP)!
This plan, called Chilliwack 2050, will guide how the city will grow and develop over the next 25 years. Through a phased process of planning research and community engagement, the updated plan will reflect a renewed vision for Chilliwack's future.
Now in Phase 2, we need your feedback on the concepts and draft policies to help shape the updated OCP, and there are several ways to get involved:
- Drop by our Futures Fair. May 3 from 10am to 6pm at Vedder Park, learn about the OCP update, provide feedback, and chat with the project team. Enjoy activities, food and fun for the whole family!
- Host an OCPizza Party. Order pizza from your favourite local shop and dive into discussions with friends, family, or co-workers using our self-guided discussion workbook. Follow host instructions to be eligible to be reimbursed for food, up to $30.
- Take the online questionnaire. Share your feedback by June 1.

Phase 1 of the Chilliwack 2050 Official Community Plan update is wrapped! Thank you to everyone who participated by giving your input online, on paper, or in-person at one of our pop-up booths.
In total, we had:
- Over 7,000 page views on Engage Chilliwack and 600 interactions at our pop-ups.
- Over 325 completed questionnaires.
- Over 270 online ideas with over 1,200 votes, plus 180+ ideas at our pop-ups.
- Over 850 map pins of places people love, wish to see grow, want to keep the same, and wish to improve.
Over the next month, the project team will consider the feedback received to identify common themes and prepare an engagement summary. This information, along with background research, will be analyzed to create concepts for Phase 2, which will be shared with the community in late spring of 2025 for further input and conversation.
Additional online engagement, community pop-ups, and other exciting events for Phase 2 will be announced later in the year. Stay tuned!
