Updated map
Public feedback from the first phase of engagement advised that the draft map was unclear as it did not show explicitly that existing parks, schools, community centres and cemeteries were not proposed for rezoning for social housing. This updated version of the map includes cut-outs to address this concern.

Next steps
The report to City Council, originally scheduled for end of Q2 2025, has been postponed to Q4 2025 to accommodate further technical work and analysis. A second round of public engagement will be held in June to present and receive comments on the refined proposal.
