Dufferin hosts municipal comprehensive review open house

The County of Dufferin will host a Public Open House on July 26 as part of its effort to increase public engagement around the Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) process.

The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Mel Lloyd Centre, Horizon Room, at 167 Centre St., Shelburne.

“On May 12, 2022, Dufferin County council approved a phased approach to the MCR process. Community and resident feedback are critical as the MCR will shape the future of the County,” says Cody Joudry,

Director, Development and Tourism, Dufferin County. “This event is an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to learn more about the MCR, and the projected and allocated growth in population and employment by community. We look forward to seeing and hearing from people at the event.”

The Public Open House is open to all community members and residents of Dufferin County. Findings from the Land Need Analysis report and transportation study will also be shared. To RSVP, please email planner@dufferincounty.ca. Walks-in

are also welcome.
Dufferin County is home to 66,000

people and is expected to grow to 95,000 by 2051, according to the Province of Ontario’s Growth Plan.

To address this predicted growth in population, Dufferin County is working on the Municipal Comprehensive Review – a series of studies that will influence Dufferin’s Official Plan and shape the growth of Dufferin County for the next 30 years.
