NCC and the GreenBelt

Review of the 1996 Greenbelt Master Plan

In order to continue to ensure the protection of the Greenbelt, the National Capital Commission (NCC) has begun a review of the Greenbelt Master Plan in the fall of 2008. The review process, which is expected to be completed in 2011, will include both in-depth analysis and extensive public consultation. The general public and the NCC's federal, provincial and municipal partners will therefore be able to provide their comments and suggestions about the future of this unique space in Canada's Capital.

The process will consist of a number of steps which began in 2008 and will be completed in 2011.

Step 1 Research Fall 2008 - Fall 2009
Step 2 Vision Fall 2009 - Winter 2010
Step 3 Concept Plan Winter 2010 - Summer 2010
Step 4 Sector Plans Spring 2010 - Spring 2011
Step 5 The Master Plan Fall 2011
