The Capital Region Growth Plan: Growing Forward was submitted to the Honourable Ray Danyluk, Minister of Municipal Affairs on April 2, 2009.  The Growth Plan provides a vision for the Capital Region in the future.

The Growth Plan includes four components: a Land Use Plan, an Intermunicipal Transit Network Plan, a Geographic Information Services (GIS) Plan, and a Housing Plan. The Land Use Plan is based on sound planning principles that will allow the Region to: manage growth while minimizing the development footprint; strengthen communities; focus on transit-oriented development;  and ensure a strong economy in the future. The Transit Plan charts a course for coordinated expansion of intermunicipal transit. The GIS Plan sets out a process for establishing an information service that will allow the Capital Region Board to make effective regional decisions and measure the impact of those decisions. The Housing Plan is a blueprint to ensure Capital Region residents have access to affordable housing. As key elements of the Capital Region Growth Plan, these four components are based on interrelated principles and will together support the vision of a prosperous economy and an improved quality of life in the Capital Region.
