At its meeting of November 20, 2013, the NCC’s Board of Directors approved the Greenbelt Master Plan.  The final plan is here.

A year later, on November 19, 2014, the Board approved an implementation plan (report and slides, 3.4 MB) which boiled the Master Plan’s 279 actions down to seven priorities:

  1. Greenbelt Visual Identity at entrances
  2. Greenbelt Branding, Communication & Marketing Strategy
  3. Visitor Services & Interpretation
  4. Restore Natural Lands
  5. Ecological Corridors
  6. Greenbelt Pathway
  7. Sustainable Agriculture

A few days later some of us met with staff at which time we were promised that a Public Advisory Committee to help guide the implementation would be established by the following Spring.  Despite a number of reminders of this promise, a PAC has yet to see the light of day.
