Chinook Communities Local Area Planning

Communities change and evolve over time. Conversations about where, why and how revitalization and redevelopment should happen are essential to ensure our communities change in the right ways.

Working together, we'll create a local area plan to guide the evolution of the Chinook Communities over the next 30 years. The Chinook Communities include the Ward 9 neighbourhood of Manchester and the south portion of Manchester Industrial, as well as other ward communities of Bel-Aire, Britannia, Elboya, Mayfair, Meadowlark Park, Parkhill, Windsor Park, and a small eastern portion of Glenmore Park.

GET INVOLVED

Your voice matters. Your feedback and the feedback of your neighbours is needed to help shape how your community and the surrounding area evolves over the next 30 years.

There are multiple ways to get involved:

ONLINE ENGAGEMENT

In this first phase of the project, we're looking for your feedback on the following:

PAST—the area's history and roots.
PRESENT—the area as it exists today.
FUTURE—the next 30 years.

Visit the online engagement page to learn about the past, present and future and provide your feedback on the initial draft of Chapter 1 of the local area plan.
