    On March 27, a special joint meeting of the OCP Advisory Committees was held to identify shared values and goals of the community. Committee members, members of Council, City staff and the public participated in an engaging workshop facilitated by Stina Brown.

The collage was made up of participant’s own images, stories and best hopes for Parksville as told on postcards. As well, a graffiti board was created that highlighted what people saw for the best future of Parksville.
