MONDAY JULY 22, 7:30 pm: HOW WILL RECENT ZONING CHANGES AFFECT EXISTING COMMUNITY PLANS, CORE RITCHIE NEIGBHBOURHOOD CENTRE, 445 14TH AVE
Several Regina neighbourhoods have long-standing "Community Plans" that direct what can be built where. City Council has recently updated our zoning to allow for denser housing and more walkable neighbourhoods. This has caused some confusion.

This event is an opportunity to eat appetizers provided by Wallnuts, and to learn about the impact of our recent zoning changes on existing neighbourhood plans. It's an important, tasty opportunity. Event by Dan LeBlanc
