This is the second meeting in a series of opportunities for you to provide input into the Confederation Heights Master Plan. Canada Lands and PSPC will reflect on the feedback received as the process moves forward.
At the workshop facilitators will ask you the following questions:
- Picture Confederation Heights in 30 years. What does it look like and what does it offer?
- What types of uses and amenities would you like to see and where would you like them to be?
- What type of buildings would you like to see?
- How do we improve connections to and from the site? As well as within the site?
- How important is sustainability to you and what would you like to see in the master plan?
We are looking forward to hearing your ideas!
If you unable to attend the workshop you can participate online starting June 10.
