You're Invited: Autumn Open House: Zoning Bylaw Update on October 7!
 

Zoning may sound technical, but it’s really about everyday life: where homes, shops and parks go and what our neighbourhoods feel like.

In 2025, we’re updating Elkford’s Zoning Bylaw to ensure it aligns with our new Official Community Plan, provincial legislation and reflects our community’s future needs. 

Join us at our upcoming Autumn Open House to learn more about the project, enjoy free food and connect with the project team! Everyone is welcome, and it's free!

📍 Teck Hall, in the Community Conference Centre (750 Fording Drive)
📅 Tuesday, October 7, 2025
🕒5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
