Local governments have a critical role to play in making neighbourhoods healthy, vibrant,
diverse and inclusive. Fulfilling this role requires a combination of direct municipal action as
well as partnering with various organizations, government agencies and non-profit service
providers. The District’s objective is to foster a safe, socially inclusive and supportive community
that enhances the health and well-being of its residents. OCP policies related to social wellbeing
contribute to the health and vitality of the District and strive to address the needs of all
citizens, including those that are most vulnerable and marginalized. These policies are also
aimed at empowering the community to develop services and supports to meet its own needs.
Increasing demands for existing services, changing demographics and other emerging issues,
require that the District respond in a coordinated and comprehensive manner to ensure the
continued livability and sustainability of the community. A Social Strategy will provide further
direction on coordination and implementation of these OCP policies.
