BoardCouncil Special Meeting
The council held a special meeting to discuss and proceed with the first reading of Bylaw 26-11, which establishes a six-month moratorium on accepting development permit applications for AI data centers. This temporary pause allows the municipality to conduct a comprehensive review of its Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw. The proceedings included discussions on the procedural path for the bylaw, including a future public hearing, and addressed community concerns regarding resource consumption and environmental impacts associated with data center developments.
