The City is working on a plan for the future of our 'Civic Places and Spaces'. Many of our civic buildings and assets are nearing the end of their service life and the cost to keep them operational exceeds the funds we have available and may not be the best use of available funding. Rather than simply raise taxes, the City is taking the opportunity to review these assets and look for opportunities to renew, repair, replace or sell where it makes sense. The goal is to develop a long-term plan that is fiscally responsible, continues delivery of quality services and supports our goals for a sustainable community. The results of the review are now available on shapeyourcitypenticton.ca.

How do I participate?

The City has hosted five community events to inform residents about this work along with more than 20 meetings with community groups affected by the recommendations. Staff are now inviting citizens to complete an anonymous feedback form to formally share their thoughts on the recommendations as part of determining the next steps. Feedback will be collected through to Nov. 25.
