Lax Kw'alaams hosting all day planning session

Residents of Lax Kw'alaams are taking in a number community planning sessions today at the Recreation Hall,  the first in a number of meeting planned to get feedback on what the community should look like in the next five to ten years.

This mornings focus was for Elders of the community who as part of a mapping exercise will be offering their thoughts on such things as where amenities such as housing, the fire hall and such should be placed in the community.

The sessions continue this afternoon with an Adult Focus Group assembled from 1 to 3 PM to offer opinion and share thoughts on development for the community.

A larger public session for residents of Lax Kw'alaams is planned for March 6th at the Reg Sampson Gymnasium, which will feature break out groups to explore a range of themes, some of which will come from today's sessions.

Sessions will also be hosted in Prince Rupert and Vancouver later in March

You can find out more about what's happening at Lax Kw'alaams from their website and Facebook page.
