Deadlines to apply to this project

10 January 2024

We have had an amazing level of interest in this program since we first launched.

We appreciate everyone who has looked into this program and reached out with some great questions to our Planning Department.

Here are a few things we're happy to clarify as this process moves forward:

  • For households new to having backyard hens (as in, you do not currently have any on your property), we will select 12 total households by lottery from all who apply. Applying will get you into the lottery but it does not guarantee you'll be selected.
  • We've updated our application forms just to add in the application deadlines, but for your information they are:

February 9 - Deadline to apply for new households.

March 1 - Deadline to apply for households with existing backyard hens.

We have also updated the timeline on our project page to reflect these deadlines for future reference.

Continue to visit the main project page for information about this program, find application forms, and read our FAQ. And if there's anything not quite clear, reach out to our Planning Department directly. They will be happy to hear from you.
