Directors approve new Area C OCP
CSRD: With the adoption comes a renewed application for Blind Bay Resort. pen, Carlin, Skimikin, White Lake and Sunnybrae. With adoption of the new OCP comes development permits that act as tools to help protect the environment, avoid development in hazardous areas and set guidelines for form and character of commercial and industrial development.
