Exciting news – the Fraser Valley Regional District has received grant funding from the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) to undertake a Complete Communities Assessment for parts of Electoral Areas A and B!

The Complete Communities Assessment is an exciting initiative that looks at making our Fraser Canyon communities even better places to call home. We're taking a close look at what makes a community truly "complete" – things like having a variety of housing options, local job opportunities, and access to everyday services and amenities.

Here's what we're doing for the Canyon communities:

  1. We're examining the current housing situation, including what types of homes are available and what our community needs.
  2. We're exploring ways to create more diverse employment opportunities.
  3. We're assessing the services and amenities that are essential for daily life.
  4. We're looking at how we can make it easier for people to get around.

Why is this assessment so important? It’s about planning for a brighter future. By understanding what our communities need, we can make smart decisions about how to grow and change in ways that benefit everyone. This study will help us create communities where people of all ages and backgrounds can thrive, with access to affordable housing, good jobs, and the services they need closer to home.

We're excited to hear from you, too! Take the survey now and you could win a $100 gift card!

Your input is crucial in shaping the future of our Fraser Canyon communities. Together, we can build vibrant, sustainable places that we're all proud to call home.

    Staff have prepared a report for the Electoral Area Services Committee and FVRD Board providing an update on the Fraser Canyon Complete Community Study. So far, the project has completed its initial data collection and early public engagement, including a community survey and outreach through the Have Your Say platform. A summary of the survey results is now available. Congratulations to our two survey draw winners, who each received a $100 Save on Foods gift card!

    The study has now moved to the analysis phase. A final report is anticipated in late 2025 and will help guide future land use planning and the Official Community Plan updates for Electoral Areas A and B. The project timeline is outlined below.
