The District of Elkford is updating our Official Community Plan (OCP), which serves as our community’s roadmap for the next 20 years. Refreshing the OCP will play an important role in guiding our community’s growth and creating policies that ensure Elkford continues to be a welcoming, active and vibrant place to call home.
This page will be used to collect community input on the project through surveys and other tools.

The Community Visioning Survey was open from October 23 to November 26, 2023 and we had over 130 responses!
In the fall of 2023, community members participated in the first phase of the Official Community Plan (OCP) engagement process, sharing their values, priorities and vision for the future. Based on the community’s input, the draft Vision Statement and Guiding Principles for the OCP have been developed. A full summary of the engagement findings can be found here.
Now, we’re seeking feedback on the proposed Vision Statement and Guiding Principles to ensure they align with the community’s vision for the future of Elkford. The feedback you provide in this survey will help guide the OCP update.
The deadline to complete this survey is Wednesday, March 13, 2024. Thank you for your participation!
