URGENT COMMUNITY MEETING REGARDING LAND USE BYLAW
Where has the last year gone?!?!
Happy New Year Thorhild County!
2023 was monumental in the people showing our government that we do not grant them permission to overstep their bounds.
Voice of Thorhild County was instrumental in waking up the whole Province, the whole Country in what is going on with Municipal Land Use Bylaw rewrites.
In January, 2023, Carey was made aware of a new proposed Land Use Bylaw that Thorhild County Administration was trying to impose on her and her husband. She created Voice of Thorhild County Facebook page and made a post to inform the rest of the community, and the public at large.
Thanks to the immediate mobilization of a committed community, on February 2, 2023 the proposed Land Use Bylaw was defeated!!
Here is what followed:
“…There is no intent to bring a subsequent draft land use bylaw to Council during this term…”
This was clearly just the intent of Administration, as members of Council shared a different view at the September 12, 2023 Council meeting:
(In initial reference to the discussion of an Urban Hen Bylaw)
Again we ask… Where has the last year gone?!?!
In just 37 days it will be 1 year since that draconian LUB was defeated.
We all heard it in the Council discussion on September 12, 2023 – The current Council is preparing to jump right back into rewriting the LUB as soon as the 1 year wait period passes!
WE NEED TO DEMAND MORE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT!
AND WE NEED TO START NOW!!!
Join us on January 4, 2024 @ 7:00pm at Egremont Hall to discuss the message we want to send to Council!
Share your VOICE!
What do you want??
- A Townhall?
- A Land Use Bylaw Committee or Working Group?
- No new bylaw??
- Or one that the community makes??
Let’s show our current Council that we are NOT going to sit complacent again. We are ready and expecting to be DIRECTLY involved in any and ALL changes to our Land Use Bylaw!!
What needs to change? What needs to stay the same?
