Planning for the future in Bruce County

Bruce County is inviting residents, businesses and visitors to help 'Plan the Bruce'.

The goal of the initiative through 2021 is to create a new County Official Plan. That's a roadmap to guide development and growth for the next 25 years.

The County of Bruce is developing policy direction for eight land use planning projects.

Included in that list is homes and increasing availability and mix, and growing business diversity.

Other areas include agriculture and heritage.

“The Official Plan affects everyone in Bruce County, from the roads we use and the homes we live in, to the natural spaces we enjoy and the places we shop,” said Bruce County Warden Janice Jackson. “By participating in the Plan the Bruce project, you can influence Bruce County’s future.”

The County of Bruce is developing policy direction for eight land use planning projects: • Homes: Increasing availability and mix • Good Growth: Combining development with preservation of character • Business: Growing economic health through business diversity • Connecting: Bringing our communities closer together • Communities: Making healthy communities a priority • Natural Legacy: Managing what we inherited for future generations • Agriculture: Ensuring the future of food thrives here • Heritage: Identifying and promoting our unique culture
