Do you have a bold vision or great idea for the future of your community?

You’re invited to share your thoughts and concepts at a series of open house events later this month.

York Region is planning for the future and wants your input and involvement in the update of its master plans and official plan.

York Region is expected to grow to 1.79 million people and 900,000 jobs by 2041. To accommodate this growth and be at the forefront of best practices, the region reviews and updates a number of its long-term strategic plans.
Three plans under review are:

• The Regional Official Plan outlines the policies of York Region to guide growth management, economic, environmental and community planning decisions;
  
  
• The Transportation Master Plan establishes the vision for transportation services, assesses existing transportation system performance, forecasts future travel demand and defines projects and strategies to address road, transit and active transportation needs;
  
  
• The Water and Wastewater Master Plan ensures water and wastewater systems meet current and future demands and are able to provide safe, cost efficient and reliable services to the Region’s communities.
  Input from residents and the business community is key to the success of these updates.
