An update from Anna Hopkins Our Ward 9 City Councillor
Growth Land Needs Assessment, these reports will shape the final expansion recommendations, expected to go to Council in late 2025. As the City continues this important process, I strongly urge us to maintain open collaboration with our Indigenous communities. The proposed expansion areas are not just parcels of land— they are part of a cultural landscape with ecological and spiritual significance. To learn more, view maps, or provide feedback, visit: getinvolved.london.ca/london-plan-review Stay tuned—more updates to come. In the meantime, feel free to reach out at ahopkins@london.ca, or sign up for my newsletter at annahopkins.ca. Wishing you a safe and happy summer, and take care of one another.
Urban Growth Boundary Review: What It Means for Ward 9, Our City, and Indigenous Communities I’m not a fan of urban sprawl—especially when it puts our agricultural lands and natural heritage at risk. But as part of its legal obligation to review the Official Plan (The London Plan), the City is currently assessing our Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). This year, Council approved a proposed UGB expansion to support future non-industrial growth.

City staff have identified a draft expansion of 1,476 hectares, with most of that growth proposed for the northwest area of Ward 9 along Dingman Creek, as well as smaller additions in the city’s north and east. The draft materials will be presented to the Planning and Environment Committee on June 23. Before anything is finalized, the Industrial Land Needs Assessment must be completed. This key step will help determine how much land is required for industrial and employment use—and where that land should be located. Combined with the Community
