Update (Feb. 21, 2024): As the B.C. government’s housing initiatives and related legislation will impact Port Moody’s Official Community Plan, the City of Port Moody has made the difficult decision to pause public engagement on Port Moody 2050. We anticipate that public engagement will resume in early 2025, when you will have a chance to review and share your thoughts on a draft Official Community Plan that incorporates Housing Bills 44 and 47 as well as the other polices introduced in December 2023. We thank everyone who has participated so far and look forward to engaging with you again next year.


Port Moody 2050 is our process to gather public input and update the Official Community Plan, our long-term vision for the future.

Port Moody's Official Community Plan is important because it communicates our values and guides us as we make decisions about how we use land for housing, transportation, parks, environmental protection, economic development, and more. It’s your plan for your city, so we want to hear your voice.

Together, we’ll explore how we want Port Moody to evolve over the next 30 years, focusing on our overall vision as well as specific areas of the city: the Moody Centre Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Area, the Oceanfront District, the Seaview neighbourhood, and Murray Street. Your input will inform Council’s decision-making as they consider proposed updates to the Official Community Plan.

We’re all a part of what makes Port Moody such a great place. And we can all play a role and work together to shape our city’s future. Use your voice to help us create a plan for the next 30 years that reflects the shared values and goals of our diverse community. Register today so we can let you know when you can provide input throughout the process.

How can you get involved?

The next phase of engagement is coming in 2025. We'll post details here as soon as they become available.

    Finally stopped moving

    by Jenny Tough, over 3 years ago
    My ex husband and I moved to Port Moody 15 years ago, 6 months after the birth of our second child and 8 months after moving to Canada. We're both from elsewhere and have lived all over the world. We moved to Coquitlam first, from South Africa, having chosen Coquitlam only because there was a home to rent that would let us bring our huge dog and it sounded so Canadian to us at the time! I was so happy to find a place to buy in Port Moody centre because I loved being able to walk with my babies... Continue reading

    Moved to Port Moody 5 years ago

    by Ann, over 3 years ago

    We moved to the Vancouver area for work about 6 years ago and wanted to live somewhere safe, with good schools, transit to downtown, close to nature and trails, and of course somewhere we could afford to buy (although I don't think we could afford it if we bought today). Port Moody checked all the boxes. Only down side is that there no are no services, restaurants or shops up on Heritage Mountain and you have to drive to do anything. Wish there were some local amenities in the neighborhoods.

    Our Nest

    by Kerstin Elsa, over 3 years ago
    My husband, 2-year old daughter and I moved out to Port Moody from South Surrey just in February 2020. It has been a long-term dream to move out here and raise our family since David has always worked out this way. All of our friends are out this way also and have all moved from Surrey as well. We love it for the forests, trails, beaches and our breweries. Now that the sky train is here as well, it feels more central to other places and travelling to the city is a breeze. If the plan is to grow and... Continue reading
