Our mission:
Citizens for Responsible Community Planning is dedicated to preserving Kelowna's environment, community character, and the quality of life of its residents through sensible policies of controlled growth and regulated development.
A Message from the Chairman
Despite promises of "change" from Kelowna's new mayor, there haven't been any meaningful changes in the pace and type of development that the city has seen in recent years. Kelowna is still on a path of rapid, uncontrolled growth with highrise development spoiling the city's majestic natural skyline. The quality of life here continues to decline as traffic congestion worsens and the crime rate remains high. Furthermore, social cohesiveness is becoming weaker as residents are becoming less involved in their community.
Citizens for Responsible Community Planning is committed to preserving the quality of life of Kelowna residents through sensible policies of controlled growth. Furthermore, CRCP believes that important policy decisions should not be made behind closed doors by a few politicians and non-elected bureaucrats, rather decisions should be more open to the public through increased participation in the planning process. It is only through the re-ordering of civic priorities and greater public participation in community planning that residents will be able to save the paradise that is Kelowna.
