Our Community Vision |
|
The Community Vision has been developed through the Township's Official Plan process. The distinctive and unique identity of Seguin Township comes from the beauty and tranquility of its northern Ontario setting, its 186 lakes of all sizes and character, the vast forested areas, and its beautiful rivers and wetlands. Seguin Township is a place where residents enjoy safe living, scenic beauty and an active community life. The community recognizes the unique physical attributes of Seguin Township and is passionate about preserving the Township's small rural and waterfront character. The preservation and enhancement of these features, while keeping pace with the diverse needs of the community, is a principle tenant of the Township's Vision. Seguin Township's vision is to achieve a community that is sound financially, supportive of appropriate employment opportunities, protective of the 3E's and preserves the unique natural heritage features of the area. The intent of the Vision is also to diversify and create a more vibrant local economy through collaborative partnerships with existing businesses and adjacent municipalities and through proactive efforts to attract new industries and services. |

Official Plan |
|
What is the Official Plan? The Official Plan is an important policy document Council uses for making land use decisions and managing change in the Township. It sets out a vision for the community based on long-term goals and objectives. All public works, by-laws, including the Town's Comprehensive Zoning By-law, and land use approvals must conform with the Township's Official Plan to ensure that Council's vision is consistently implemented. Official Plan Amendments Amendments to the Official Plan are sometimes necessary when the Plan does not contain policies that address new Provincial and Regional policy directions, local issues and opportunities or specific development proposals. In these cases, the Official Plan can be altered through an Official Plan Amendment (PDF) (OPA) process. The OPA process allows for amendments to the Plan to be evaluated and to be presented to the public before changes are approved by Council. Obtaining a copy of the Official Plan The latest Seguin Township Official Plan is available in print by request, for purchase, from the Planning Department. To inquire about any of the amendments, or request information about the latest consolidation, please contact the Planning Department .
