Share I am wondering about the long term plans for the Miller Bay area. Looking at the OCP, it appears that some of the area immediately around the bay has been slated for residential development. Other areas have been slated for Open Space & Park. I believe there are quite a few residents who frequent the area where the quarantine hospital was situated and the associated waterfront. I think there should be more focus set on developing the waterfront of the entire bay, not just the immediated cove by the hospital site, and the old hospital site for community waterfront/recreational access. This is a very accessible area for most residents and can easily be modified to provide ample parking. I would like to receive more information on plans for the Miller Bay area. Thank you. on Facebook

Millar Bay is designated as park and open space in the new OCP (Map 1a). Aside from this designation, the City has no long term plans but does anticipate undertaking a Parks Master plan in the future at which time an overall strategy for park development would be prepared.

The City works within the laws of Canada and British Columbia. Setting policy regarding who can purchase land and homes and to set rental controls are actions outside of the City’s jurisdiction. In terms of the housing challenge, the City is working through this OCP and other more targeted actions to help meet this important challenge.

Housing is a major issue in Prince Rupert, as it is in many other communities. Our OCP lays out broad goals and strategies for housing with the objective of meeting the housing needs of the residents. The OCP identifies areas for new housing in the city core and in new neighbourhoods to meet the needs of existing and future residents. Delivery of new housing, however, involves many different parties including the provincial government, private developers and other housing providers. The City’s role is to work with these parties to facilitate the necessary new housing. the City’s The City, for example, is currently inviting developers from across British Columbia and Canada to look at building new housing in Prince Rupert and the City Council has approved a development incentive program to facilitate this housing.
Share Can you ask for affordable housing for people that work? We don’t want to go backwards and end up being homeless or starve. My boyfriend and I live in a two bedroom and I’m not allowed to take my daughter in because she has issues. But I wanted to take my brother in too. I don’t want my family homeless. It’s crazy home owners are asking too high of rent like we are all rich In Prince Rupert. Even hotels are asking monthly high rent. This world is getting worse. I thought City of Prince Rupert cared for our community about there well being? Well I don’t see that. I wish city council can help us all. There’s many many that are looking to rent but asking too much. Singles, family with young kids, family with family members, elders. Please help our community. on Facebook

The City is currently working with the Province of British Columbia and housing providers to provide affordable housing for working people. The Mayor and Council are focussed on addressing this very important community need.

While the City is not responsible for directly providing jobs and housing for international students, it does address this by planning for housing and economic development through industrial and commercial development. These are key parts of the OCP.
