The goal is to solidify a vision for parks and recreational services, including:
- Accessibility and inclusivity
- Park, trails and facility enhancements
- Community engagement and communications
- Recreational programming and events
- Maintenance and management
Phase 1: Assessment / Background Report
(September – December 2023)
In this phase the consulting team will be reviewing relevant documents, researching trends in the recreational sector, and engaging the community through one-on-one interviews with key stakeholders and a community survey. The goal is to capture current processes and practices, understand community interests and needs, and external influences. This phase will wrap with a Background report that will be presented to Council in late 2023/early 2024.
Phase 2: Draft Recommendations
(January – April 2024)
At this time, the consulting team will create a series of draft recommendations that reflect the information gathered through the first phase. It will include the analysis and development of recommendations, alignment with corporate and community priorities, and a framework for implementation.
Phase 3: Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan
(April– June 2024)
The project will wrap up with the drafting of a full Parks and Recreation Master Plan. This plan will be made available for public review and comment to ensure the final plan is truly indicative of community priorities. The final plan will be presented to Council in early spring 2024 for adoption.
