Engagement

Throughout the course of the project, LCI has engaged dozens of experts through a series of Advisory Group (AG) and Interagency Advisory Group (IAG) sessions. To date, we have hosted two AG meetings, and three IAG meetings, in which participants have discussed relevant planning challenges and opportunities and provided initial feedback on draft frameworks of the General Plan Guidelines. 

Advisory group members were selected from a pool of individuals who completed an initial project interest form. LCI set a goal of creating balanced groups that included input from planners in the public, private, and advocacy sectors. Though the period to join an advisory group has now closed, interested planners and other members of the public will have several opportunities throughout the project period to share feedback on the guidelines, and LCI will also host several workshops to solicit input on topics within the General Plan Guidelines not covered by our advisory groups (e.g. rural planning perspectives, urban design, and working lands).
