Parks and Recreation Master Plan - 2017:

In 2015, through the Corporate Strategic Plan, Council identified strategic goals and projects for parks and recreation. In 2016, Jennifer Wilson Consulting was hired to produce a Parks and Recreation Master Plan that was reflective of the community and would help Council establish a framework for decision making. This plan is a culmination of the yearlong consultation and research process which included:

  • A statistically reliable survey
  • Extensive research into the communities demographics, culture as well as current policies and practices
  • Parks and facility site visits
  • Focus groups and user group sessions
  • Community open house

The Master Plan includes short, medium and long term goals to help meet the current needs of the community. It also includes a decision making model that will facilitate decisions on items that were not identified as priorities during this process. This tool will help staff and Council evaluate the merit of new initiatives that are brought forward over the next 10 years.
