Official Plan Review Survey
The Town of Aylmer is undertaking a review of its Official Plan. If you're interested in how Aylmer may grow in the future, and what this means for your community - we want to hear from you!
The Official Plan establishes a vision, goals and objectives, and policy intended to guide future land use and development. Once approved, the Official Plan will provide a basis for the development of a new Zoning By-law and other tools to manage land use. By completing a survey, you are helping craft a vision of what it means to live in Aylmer both now and in the future. This survey will help identify key issues in the community - and why they matter to you.
Copies of the survey are available in-person at Town Hall and on-line at the link below. Please return your completed survey by August 30, 2019.
