KEEPING IT RURAL — Cont’d from page 33
“I believe that we will be the fastest-growing community in the province by the next census,” Olynyk says, adding the number of building permits issued in 2021 is quadruple the number issued at this time last year. It may look like an overnight sensation, but conceptual plans for West St. Paul’s growth have been in place for many decades, and concrete preparation to facilitate it has been underway for at least 10 years. Future development isn’t being left to chance, either. The RM’s extensive strategic plan calls for controlled growth, with a designated town centre and commercial areas, along with diverse housing options that will eventually accommodate a population of about 12,000. Mayor Cheryl Christian notes that West St. Paul has 11 parks and 17 kilometres of walking and biking trails now, and it will have 20 parks and more pathways within three to five years. “Residents want to maintain that rural feel and be able to have those parks and greenspaces, so that’s been a real priority for us,” she says.
