- An online survey was conducted in June 2021 seeking input and comments on the issues and directions identified in the background review.
- Two Public Information Sessions/Open Houses were held in order to provide feedback on the development of the New Tiny Zoning By-law.
- A Public Meeting was held in August 2022, which is a statutory requirement in accordance with the Planning Act.
