History Biographical

The Lethbridge District Planning Commission (LDPC) was established by the provincial government in 1955 and shortly after renamed into the Oldman River District Planning Commission (ORDPC) to reflect its broader regional mandate. The ORDPC was involved in planning projects that stretched from Nanton to Raymond, and from Taber to the Crowsnest Pass. In 1963 the organization was renamed into Oldman River Regional Planning Commission (ORRPC). On 15 July 1968 the Subdivision and Transfer Regulation was amended. Regional planning commissions became the approving authorities for subdivisions within their defined regions. All municipal governments, whether members of the region or not, had to submit their proposals to the Regional planning commission for approval. Throughout the late 1970s the ORRPC continued its primary planning work, while cooperating with various departments and agencies and both the municipal and provincial levels to accomplish such projects as: site development studies for irrigation reservoirs, historic sites designations, river valley development and stabilization, study of the environmental effects of forestry operations, input into the new Planning Act, and others. In 1994 a fundamental change to regional planning was instituted by the provincial government. The Municipal Act was amended to abolish all regional planning commissions in Alberta. The members of the ORRPC reconstituted the organization in 1995 under the name Oldman River Intermunicipal Services Agency (ORISA) to provide the same services as were provided previous to the change in provincial legislation. In 2003 ORISA was renamed the Oldman River Regional Services Commission (ORRSC). Sources of information: “A History of the Oldman River Regional Planning Commission 1955-1980”.
