Previous Engagement Opportunities

Between September and November 2025, the Municipality of Central Elgin conducted extensive community and stakeholder engagement to gather input on the future development of the former Psychiatric Hospital Lands. Residents, local organizations, and stakeholders provided valuable feedback on the Draft Policy Directions and Land Use Plan, helping to shape a vision for a complete, inclusive, and sustainable community.

Round 1 of engagement included:

• One in-person Public Open House
• An online survey
• Four virtual stakeholder meetings.

In total, 453 participants provided input.

The project team has reviewed the feedback received through engagement on the draft Policy Directions and Land Use Plan and has considered that input in preparing the final versions for Council consideration in February 2026.
