Okotoks wants to gamble on growth
Okotoks` population cap, long hailed as one of Canada`s boldest sustainability measures, is now being depicted as a hurdle to a regional rail system--and even the town itself is casting it in not-so-glowing terms.
Public meetings and a survey are planned for early 2009 to ask residents if they want to lift the policy of living within the carrying capacity of the Sheep River and limiting growth to 30,000 people, a ceiling it is projected to hit in the next six years.
