Selkirk is hosting a public hearing about the possibility of the local municipality withdrawing from the Red River Planning District
The hearing is slated for March 23 at 6 p.m. to hear representation from citizens about the potential of the City of Selkirk withdrawing from the Red River Planning District and establishing an independent department to deliver planning services such as development and secondary plans, zoning by-laws and building permits.
Following the public hearing, Selkirk council will consider the matter and will determine whether to make a formal application to the Minister of Municipal Relations to be removed from the Red River Planning District.
Adhering to current public health orders due to COVID-19, the public hearing will be held virtually and live-streamed on our website at myselkirk.ca/RRPDhearing.
According to the City of Selkirk, any person who wishes to make a presentation, ask questions or register an objection to Council during the public hearing must register online at myselkirk.ca/RRPDhearing prior to 4 p.m. on March 22.
Registrants will be contacted by email with information on how to join virtually and with a 10-minute time slot in which they may present. Those without access to online services are asked to call CitizenSupport at 204-785-4900 where arrangements may be made on a case-by-case basis.
