Consultation

This work was done with careful analysis and meaningful consultation with the public and stakeholders. This is very important to ensure that the Plan is rooted in an excellent understanding of existing conditions and is a useful document for the community.

The Municipality reached out to ask how residents, business, and community groups see Cumberland and how they would like it to evolve. Do we have the jobs and services to attract and retain young families? How can we help enable small businesses and the agricultural sector? These questions and many were asked throughout the Plan Cumberland project. The responses have directly informed the draft MPS and LUB.

Please CONTACT US at any time.

FIRST DRAFT MPS - REVIEW OPEN HOUSES

In November and December, a series of open house public consultations was held throughout the County to answer questions and gather feedback about the first draft municipal planning strategy and land use bylaw.  The results have been integrated in the second draft of the MPS.

BUSINESS OWNERS SURVEY

The survey is now closed.

This survey was for owners and operators of businesses in Cumberland County.  

Input is helping to influence updates to the Cumberland Municipal Planning Strategy, and lead to improvements that make it easier to start or expand a business in Cumberland. It was open to responses for two weeks.

YOUTH PHOTO PROJECT

The photo project is now closed.

We believe that how the youth of Cumberland see our municipality is integral to informing our future direction. Where are your favorite places? What would you like to see change? Also, now that warmer weather is upon us, we’d love to see you getting out and about the county! Through photos, please show us how you see Cumberland County.
