Announcing the Greater Downtown Planning & Design Charrette
We want to hear your ideas about the future of Downtown Grimsby!
Join us for the Greater Downtown Planning & Design Charrette.
What is a Charrette?
A charrette is an intensive, collaborative process held over several days that brings together experts and professionals from various disciplines to generate and advance solutions, ideas and concepts for a complex site, district or subject matter. These outcomes are informed, vetted, and steered through the engagement and input of stakeholders and the public at strategic points in the charrette process. The key benefits of utilizing the charrette process include arriving at comprehensive solutions to complex challenges in days rather than months or years, and the extraordinary broadly shared excitement and momentum generated.
The Greater Downtown Planning & Design Charrette will include several public engagement events that can help shape the vision for Grimsby’s future Downtown and inform the policy direction for the Official Plan review. These events are free and do not require registration.
- Walk’n’Talk Tour: History and Culture – May 28th from 6:00pm to 7:00pm, beginning at the Coach House at 13B Mountain Street
- Walk’n’Talk Tour: Public Realm & Circulation – May 29th from 6:00pm to 7:00pm, beginning at the Coach House at 13B Mountain Street
