ALL INPUT Vision/OCP Community Engagement Phase 1, March 2018 Introduction O v e r a l l F o r u m I d e a b o o k s S u r v e y P o s t c a r d Whistler2020 Descriptions of Success A p p e n d i x A Introduction In March, community engagement through a variety of activities was undertaken to inform the development of Whistler’s Community Vision and to hear initial thoughts related to the ‘Our Shared Future’ elements of the Official Community Plan. Engagement activities included a community forum, ideabooks, an online survey, social media and postcards to the future. A total of 1105 responses were received through all sources of input. This document includes the compiled quantitative results in response to questions where a scale or rating response was used to understand community support for or agreement with existing content. Verbatim responses to open ended/qualitative questions are contained in the ‘compilation’ documents appended to this document and available separately online at whistler.ca/MyFutureWhistler. Project Overview: Vision and OCP Update The RMOW is leading a process to update Whistler's Community Vision and our Official Community Plan, with a number of opportunities for community input. The first step is to revisit our Community Vision. Many people were involved in creating the Whistler2020 vision, and this new process is building on that foundation. The second part of the project is focused on updating the OCP and will be a continuation of the 2010-2013 OCP process. Between 2010 and 2012, there was an intensive 20-month period of community engagement, policy development, document preparation and referrals. With the first phase of community engagement now compiled and released, the process to incorporate that input into the updated Community Vision and OCP is underway. Both will be presented to the community in draft form in May for review and feedback through then next phase of engagement. To learn more, visit whistler.ca/MyFutureWhistler. What we did: the engagement process The March engagement process focused on vision-related content from Whistler2020 and from the 2011 draft OCP. It then asked the questions listed under each. A. Whistler2020 vision statement and general vision input a. To what extent do you like this vision statement for Whistler? What do you like about the vision statement, if anything? What would you change? What words should be used? b. What do you love about whistler today? c. What should Whistler strive for over the next 10-20 years above all else? What are the most important achievements we should aim for? B. OCP Our Shared Future content: For each of the ‘Our Shared Future’ sections from each 2011 draft OCP chapter, the following questions were asked: a. To what extent do you agree with this vision of the future? b. What part of this vision is most important to you? c. What’s missing from this vision or should be changed? What else should Whistler strive for in the future? C. Whistler2020 Description of Success (DOS) statements: a. What are the top statements that describe what success in this topic area must look like in the future? b. What critical statements (if any) are missing? A number of engagement activities were undertaken to provide community members with a variety of opportunities to participate in the visioning process. Each of the engagement activities are listed and described below, and then the engagement content and questions that were included (A, B and/or C from above) are presented for reference. Engagement Description Content/questions Activity included (see above) Forum The Community Forum held on March 5th included presentations by A, B, C community leaders, a smartphone input exercise, table discussions, poster board input, and open space for participants to identify additional issues/concerns. Approximately 150 people attended the event. Ideabook The MyFutureWhistler Ideabooks provided the opportunity for or A, B, C sharing additional thoughts and details on specific questions and elements. 30 Ideabooks were submitted. Online A short online survey was created to make the visioning process more A Survey accessible to residents and in a shorter period of time than the Ideabook allowed. 250 people responded to the survey. Postcards Postcards to the future and mailboxes were placed at the Library and A at Meadow Park Sports Centre. The question focused on what the desired future for Whistler should look like. In total, 450 postcards were submitted from the general public and another 70 came in from school kids during our school visits. Input compilation documents for each of the engagement activities above (including verbatim input) are appended to this document and available online at whistler.ca/MyFutureWhistler. Overall Input This section includes the compiled quantitative results in response to questions where a scale was used to understand community support for or agreement with existing content. The other engagement questions gathered open ended responses; the verbatim comments from the community in response to these questions are also available for review. They can be found online at whistler.ca/MyFutureWhistler. Vision Statement: To what extent do you like it? Current Vision Statement: Whistler will be the premier mountain resort community – as we move toward sustainability This question was asked through all input sources, including the forum, ideabook, survey and the postcards. There is a fairly even split between those who like the vision (114) and those who dislike it (111). There is also a large group of respondents who were neutral about the statement – neither liking nor disliking it. OCP Our Shared Future content: To what extent do you agree with it? The OCP Our Shared Future content and this quantitative question related to it was included in the forum event and the ideabooks. The verbatim responses to the other questions related to the OCP Our Shared Future content are included in the Forum and Ideabook Compilation documents. An overview of the results for all OCP chapters is presented in the chart below, showing that there is a high level of agreement with the existing content for most chapters – as shown by the green portions of each bar. The chapters that received relatively lower levels of agreement are at the bottom of the chart with levels of disagreement shown in red. Following the overall results chart below, the next sections present the data gathered for each OCP chapter and the Our Shared Future (aka Vision) content within it. The OCP Our Shared Future content from the 2011 draft OCP is included for reference in Appendix A.
