These are the notes taken from Commission staff at a number of "Community Conversations" or "Tea Circles" where the public could talk with Commission members or staff or with one another. Some conversations were facillitated and focused on a theme.

Workshop Summary: Future Planning Areas 

Since the June 15 release of the Draft Plan we have been busy meeting with 20+ 'plan partners' or 'stakeholders' in the Region. The goal was to introduce the plan and to continue our conversation of what is important to them in the Region. We are summarizing the notes from these meetings and have received approval from stakeholders to post them publicaly.  As we receive permission we will be posting them here.
