around townCampbell River wins Provincial Award

The City of Campbell River took a first place win in the Civic Engagement Category at the UBCM Excellence Awards in Vancouver last week. The award recognized the City’s efforts to increase awareness of government services, engage the community in generating a vision and goals for Campbell River, and participate in policy development for the Sustainable Official Community Plan.

According to UBCM, “the Community Excellence Awards program is an opportunity to showcase municipalities and regional districts who ‘lead the pack’, take risks to innovate, establish new partnerships, question established ways of doing business and pioneer new customer service practices.”

More than 1,500 community members have been involved in the development of the Sustainable Official Community Plan and several other associated plans.

To provide a meaningful engagement program with value to community members and the City, the City developed a new model for outreach: SUCCESS (Strategic, Unifying, Comprehensive, Creative, Empowering, Supported and Sustained) to ensure community empowerment in policy making.

Congratulations to the City of Campbell River!!"#$%#&'()#&*+,(-.$/(01,(2./(00,(34567(89,(8:0:
