Growth is a natural part of every community — but how growth happens matters.
The Municipal Development Plan is designed to help guide growth in a thoughtful and responsible way.
That means planning for new development while protecting agricultural land, water resources, infrastructure, and the rural character that residents value.
The MDP encourages development in appropriate locations where roads, utilities, and services can be provided efficiently and sustainably.
It also considers the long-term impacts of growth — including cumulative effects on transportation networks, municipal services, natural areas, and farming operations.
By planning ahead, the municipality can help reduce land use conflicts, improve infrastructure coordination, and support resilient communities.
Responsible growth isn’t about stopping change — it’s about making sure future development benefits both current and future residents.

Your feedback helps ensure future growth supports the long-term vision of the community.
Together, we can help plan for a strong and resilient future.
