Downtown Waterfront Master Plan
Project Overview
The Downtown Waterfront Master Plan capitalizes on ways to improve connections between the downtown and the waterfront. By reflecting North Bay's Indigenous history in meaningful ways and creating new centres of activity (both indoors and outdoors), a vibrant downtown & waterfront can be maintained year round.

The final draft of the Master Plan was presented to City Council in March of 2017.

Policies within the City's Official Plan were amended to reflect key policy recommendations in the Master Plan.
Zoning By-law Amendment
The Zoning By-law was amended to reflect the zoning recommendations in the Master Plan.
Adoption of Plan by City Council
