The regional POCD is updated at least once every ten years per the requirements of the CGS 8-35a, and is a guidance document that sets policy priorities for the future of the region and its communities. The vision, goals and strategies contained within the regional POCD were developed through a participatory process through the engagement of the regional community in a dialogue on its future.
