Comprehensive Community Planning (CCP) is a process that engages community members in planning and implementing the long term vision for their community. It includes the development of objectives, goals and/or a plan of action to work towards fulfilling the vision. Many First Nations communities across British Columbia are already engaged in planning and are experiencing great success.
CCP is a community-based, community-driven planning process with meaningful membership involvement throughout. Together, the community addresses all of the following subject areas, at appropriate levels of detail, to acceptable planning standards, and with sustainability as a central principle:
1. Economic Development
2. Social Development
3. Environmental Management
4. Culture and Language
5. Governance
This section includes community planning tools and resources, materials from the 2010, 2011, and 2012 and soon 2013 CCP Workshop, and sample community plans.
