We are also trying to support the City of Armstrong by asking if you could participate in this survey. Thanks!

"The City of Armstrong is currently undergoing the process of reviewing the Official Community Plan (OCP). An OCP is the principal municipal planning tool that develops a vision for the future of a community and establishes a detailed set of policies in a wide range of topics such as land use, growth management, and community connectivity.

This survey will help gain further input from residents regarding OCP related issues as well as establishing priorities in future decision-making.

Your participation is very important, as we are looking for input on important local issues regarding the future look and feel of Armstrong. The survey will take about 20 minutes of your time and your responses will remain anonymous."
