Horizon 2067: The Plan for Canada's Capital

Canada’s Capital Region: Canadian, just like you.

Public Consultation - Horizon 2067: The Plan for Canada’s Capital from Conversation to Vision

Submitted on February 11, 2012

Large numbers of Canadians across the country responded to an invitation from the National Capital Commission (NCC) and enthusiastically joined the conversation to share their ideas about the future of the Capital. The NCC is now inviting the public to participate in a workshop in Canada’s Capital Region on February 21 and 22, 2012. During these working sessions, we will take the ideas gathered on the future of the Capital and turn them into the foundation for the vision and goals of the next Plan for Canada’s Capital.

Those who cannot attend these sessions can provide their input online at www.horizon2067.ca between February 20th and March 16th.

These sessions will mark the end of the first phase of engaging Canadians in the future of their nation’s capital and begins the next phase of engagement. Following these sessions, the NCC will work to develop the vision and strategic directions for the new plan. A second public consultation will be held in the fall of 2012. The NCC expects to complete this exercise by the end of 2012.

Thousands of Canadians shared their thoughts on the future of the Capital

In the fall of 2011, the NCC invited Canadians to share their ideas about the future of Canada’s Capital. Thousands of Canadians responded to the invitation, and joined the conversation online and in person. The NCC heard that Canadians would like their capital to be more representative of our country’s diversity and values, more vibrant and more environmentally sustainable. They want the Capital to showcase Canada’s greatest achievements and for it to represent Canada to Canadians and the world.
