Meetings

Community engagement sessions are scheduled for:

-- Tuesday Oct. 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Wilmot Community Center

-- Wednesday October 18 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Port Royal Legion in Annapolis Royal

CARP announced the meetings in a media release Sept. 26 and said meetings will be facilitated by an external moderator, with CARP and county staff present.

Objectives of the community engagement sessions include collect data to understand community values as they relate to land and water resources; to identify community concerns related to land-use management and water resources; and to begin to assess management needs related to land use and water resources.

“Broad community representation will help to ensure that the data collected and recommendations stemming from the project reflect the interests of the many communities and stakeholder groups of Annapolis County,” the press release said.

For those who are unable to attend an in-person meeting, an online survey will be available through the CARP website.

Stakeholders

The community meeting series will be followed by targeted stakeholder meetings, in order to gain further insight into the challenges related to land-use and water management issues, and to define solutions to these challenges where possible.
