Print This Page!

1.   Everyone! You!

A successful ICSP is created through effective public participation. We will work with the public to ensure that your concerns and aspirations for the future are reflected and will provide feedback on how the public influenced the decision.

Please get involved and help create a better future for Harrison Hot Springs. Click here to find out more about how you can get involved or go to Participate.

2.   Community Sustainability Action Team (CSAT)

The CSAT is the “advisory group” for the ICSP, and a subcommittee of the Infrastructure and Sustainability Committee, its members represent the community’s interests in the project. While the community will be engaged in reviewing and providing feedback on process documents through two public events and online opportunities, it is the CSAT that will provide the guidance and do more of the heavy lifting on an ongoing basis.

The duration of the subcommittee will be approximately (6) six months, commencing in May 2011. The Village is looking for broad and diverse community representation on the CSAT. The Village is currently seeking applications from interested parties to serve on CSAT. The CSAT members are volunteers and will not be financially compensated for their time.
