Pursuant to Section 12 of the University Endowment Land Act, the Minister of Municipal Affairs amended the UEL Official Community Plan to:

Implement the Area D Neighbourhood Plan (Ministerial Order M164 signed April 6, 2021); and

Create a Community Centre Advisory Board that will have input into operations of the future UEL community centre. (Ministerial Order M523 signed December 10, 2021)

In 2018, MCC proposed an additional funding source for the community centre in the form of guaranteed community centre memberships from leləm strata residents in exchange for them having input into the operations of the community centre through seats on an advisory board. The bylaw amendment amends the UEL Official Community Plan to establish this advisory board.
