nə́c̓aʔmat tə šxʷqʷeləwən ct (We are of One Heart and Mind) is both the name of our comprehensive community plan and the vision that guides it.
nə́c̓əmat tə šxʷqʷeləwən ct draws inspiration from the traditional Musqueam spindle whorl, which represents a unifying power, bringing individual fibers together to create a single strand of wool. Much like the spindle whorl weaves together fibers, this plan weaves together different elements of our community to set out a strong, unified vision that connects us all.
The CCP is a high level holistic plan that encompasses the key planning areas for our community and establishes important values and recommendations that guide other plans we may develop. It is also community driven, meaning that the vision, objectives, and actions in this plan are the direct reflection of our community’s input.
The 2018 Comprehensive Community Plan update builds on our original CCP and vision. The update of this document involved extensive community engagement to generate new actions that help meet the community objectives developed through the original CCP.
