The Comprehensive Community Plan (CCP), last updated in 2022, is a community-led plan and is the main guiding document for Westbank First Nation. Our CCP guides WFN to sustainably manage our social, community, cultural, economic and land use interests over a long-term horizon within the Westbank First Nation Administrative Area and the traditional territory of the Okanagan Nation. Guided by WFN Membership, and with support from community members and residents, the CCP looks to utilize traditional knowledge, teachings, practices, and governance to develop and propose principles and actions to help achieve our vision for the future.
The CCP is a "living document," which means it can be updated to reflect our community's changing needs. It provides the strategic foundation for more detailed plans and policies as they relate to the various departments within the Westbank First Nation administration. WFN Administration is responsible to report annually on the progress of the CCP actions to Membership and Council. Internal strategic plans reflect and encompass the basic principles set in the Plan and are implemented in department policies, programs, and community development.
COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY PLAN
The CCP represents our community voice on a variety of topics based on our Four Food Chiefs:

2025 Update
Planning & Development has been diligently working on the CCP 2025 Review & Update Project with Dillon Consulting Ltd. Dillon has in-depth knowledge of WFN and our CCP process as they successfully completed the 2020/2022 CCP update and overhaul, so we are very glad to have them back on board.
This revision will update the CCP goals and action items and bring this guiding document into alignment with current community needs. This will once again be achieved by doing extensive engagement with WFN’s community and government. The plan is to keep the 2025 CCP update structured very similarly to its predecessor, but include up-to-date information.
The project kicked off in December 2024. It is anticipated that the final draft will be completed and ready for final comments in December 2025 and the final report ready in March 2026. Membership will then vote on the 2025 CCP’s adoption – date TBD.
If you have any questions about our current CCP or this planned update, please contact Holli Hyatt (Planner II) at hhyatt@wfn.ca or 250-769-4999 ext. 1307.
