Planning Calmar’s Future

As Calmar continues to grow, we’re updating the key Master Plans that guide how our town manages and expands its core infrastructure. These long-range plans help Council and Administration proactively plan for land use, development, and essential services that support a thriving, sustainable community.

In partnership with ISL Engineering, the Town is updating four major Master Plans:

These plans have not been updated since the early 2000s. In that time, Calmar has seen significant growth. The updated versions reflect today’s needs, align with current policies like the Municipal Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw, and account for future residential, commercial, and industrial development.

We encourage all residents to review the draft master plans and see how Calmar is preparing for a strong and sustainable future.

The draft plans are currently being referred to external agencies for feedback. Once responses are reviewed, the Town will determine if any amendments are needed before moving forward with formal adoption. Adoption of the updated plans is anticipated by year-end.

What’s Considered in a Master Plan?

The Town uses multiple inputs to build a comprehensive plan:

  • Technical requirements and engineering assessments

  • Community concerns and feedback

  • Council policies and long-term goals

  • Provincial regulations and planning legislation

  • Financial viability and funding

  • Public and stakeholder engagement

These inputs help create a clear roadmap to ensure Calmar grows in a healthy, safe, and financially responsible way.
