Following Council direction provided on Monday, October 27, 2025, the District of Sooke is in the process of scheduling a Special Council Meeting to discuss the Official Community Plan (OCP).

This meeting will be open to the public to attend and observe, however, no public input or comments on the OCP will be received at this stage. The exact meeting date is still being finalized as Council schedules are coordinated. Once confirmed, a Notice of Special Meeting will be issued.

Following this meeting, if Council chooses to advance the amended Draft OCP Bylaw to second reading, this will initiate the Public Hearing process. Notice of the Public Hearing will be provided at least two weeks prior to the hearing date, at which time the public will have an opportunity to review the bylaw and provide input.
