About Williams Lake: Imagine Our Future - Roots of Creating Our Future
A new approach to planning is underway in Williams Lake - an approach that supports a forward-looking and adaptable community - recognizing "upstream" solutions to address both local and global challenges. The City of Williams Lake received $175,000 from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities through the Federal Gas Tax Revenue to support work with the Whistler Centre for Sustainability, The Natural Step Canada and independent consultants. Together with Williams Lake staff, this team is facilitating the development of an Integrated Community Sustainability Planning (ICSP) approach for Williams Lake and its neighbours. The ICSP approach will guide long-term planning and revision of the City's Official Community Plan (OCP).
This long-term planning approach will respect the vision and values of the Williams Lake community.
