Kensington-Cedar Cottage Community Visions Program
The Kensington-Cedar Cottage (KCC) Community Vision, approved
by City Council in 1998, was developed by people who live and work in
KCC, with the assistance of City staff. The Vision will be used at City
Hall to guide decisions affecting KCC, and to set priorities for funding,
programs and services. For the community, the Vision provides a focus
for local actions and initiatives.

approved by Council, including what local residents had to say about
community involvement, crime, traffic, and new housing choices. Available
in small PDF files.
- KCC Community Vision Summary - Vision highlights
- KCC Community Vision Action Plan - Approved
by Council in 1999. Lists actions that City departments can take over
the next two decades to implement the Vision.
Implementing the Vision in KCC
The key to making the Vision a reality is the continued involvement of
the community in working together and in partnership with the City.
Kensington-Cedar Cottage CityPlan Committee
The KCC CityPlan Committee is an independent committee set up by the
community in 1999 to monitor the implementation of the Community Vision
and to facilitate ongoing community involvement. The committee meets monthly
to share information and discuss the status of implementation actions
as they relate to the Vision. While City staff attend most meetings, the
opinions expressed in the meeting notes are those of the committee and
not the City. The KCC CityPlan Committee meets the first Thursday of each
month (except July, August, and January) at 7:00 p.m. at Trout Lake Community
Centre.

Initiatives
"In creating this Vision, KCC residents generated
many ideas about what the
community could do for itself - from community gardens to crime prevention
to
business promotion - with some support and organizational help."

In addition to the City actions outlined in the KCC Community Vision
Action Plan, the community has initiated several projects based on ideas
in the Vision. Find out more about these Initiatives.
Pan Visions Meetings
Pan Visions Meetings are jointly hosted by the chairs of the CityPlan
Committees and held at their discretion. The purpose of the Pan Visions
is for areas with completed Community Visions (Dunbar, Kensington-Cedar
Cottage, Victoria-Fraserview/Killarney, Sunset, Renfrew-Collingwood,
Hastings-Sunrise, Arbutus Ridge-Shaughnessy-Kerrisdale, and Riley Park-South
Cambie) to meet each other, share their successes and challenges, and
identify opportunities to work collaboratively.
On November 26, 2006 the Renfrew-Collingwood and Sunset CityPlan Committees
hosted a workshop with Jim Diers, the former Director of Seattle’s Department
of Neighbourhoods. At the workshop, participants discussed how to mobilize
their assets—their passion, knowledge, skills, and relationships—in support of caring communities, and revitalized neighbourhoods.
For more information about Jim Diers and a review of his book “Neighbor
Power: Building Community the Seattle Way”, visit www.neighborpower.org.
At a meeting on January 28, 2006, Ian Lockwood, a Senior Transportation
Engineer with the firm Glatting Jackson in West Palm Beach Florida,
met with over 40 residents to discuss traffic calming measures (see
pictures below). View Ian
Lockwood’s transportation paper (PDF, 3.94MB).
