From mid-September to November 2026 the Village will be releasing draft sections of the draft Official Community Plan (OCP) document. The sections will also be sent to Nlaka’pamux Nation (Kanaka Bar Indian Band, Siska Indian Band, Nicomen Indian Band, Skuppah Indian Band, Cooks Ferry Indian Band and Lytton First Nation), the Thompson–Nicola Regional District (TNRD), and local community interest groups for comment and review.
To gather input from the community and area governments, each section will be released with a short questionnaire, which can be done online (Survey Monkey) or printed and emailed (to planning@lytton.ca) or dropped off at Village Office.
The schedule for release of the draft OCP and links to the draft document and questionnaire as follows:

Following the review of the draft OCP sections, staff will prepare the OCP Bylaw for initial readings by Council, which will be sent as formal referrals to Nlaka’pamux Chiefs and Councils, the TNRD, and other required agencies. It is anticipated that the statutory approval process will commence late in November and continue through the end of 2026.
