Ask us a question about anything from dog parks to sports fields, arenas to Zumba.

How does the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Steering Committee intend to save our parks from commercialization ?
taffy asked almost 7 years agoHi Taffy,
In Section 7 of Draft #2 of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, the Steering Committee recommends updates to City bylaws and the creation of a policy to regulate commercial uses in parks in a way that meets the expectations of the community. This preliminary work was shared with the public at the Open House on May 1. The feedback on this work is now being collected and will be shared with the Committee to determine next steps. Watch for more information coming soon. If you haven't already, take a look at the work and complete a feedback form.

bananapeel asked about 7 years agoHi there,
The Parks & Recreation Master Plan Steering Committee, staff and the Mayor and Council absolutely want to hear from citizens about the Parks & Recreation Master Plan.
If you have petitions and letters related to the work of this group, please do bring them forward. You have a few options to have them formally considered:
1. Request to appear as a delegation at the next Steering Committee meeting. (I've included the link to the form.)
2. Address the documents to Mayor and Council, provide them to Dana Schmidt, Corporate Officer, and request they be included in the Council agenda.
For your information, the Committee is having an Open House on May 1, 4:30-7:30 pm at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre South Lobby. FYI, Draft 2 will be posted on here by April 24.
Hope this helps. -
Share If the City has engaged Urban Systems and a volunteer committee to draft up a Parks & Rec. Master Plan, why is there a need for two councillors to be on the committee? Does council have doubts as to the effectiveness of the committee and Urban Systems? If so, why hire Urban systems to do this if they are not going to listen to what they say. It would seem like a conflict of interest to have council members sit in on the committee even though they don't have voting privileges. What real purpose do they serve other than to be a "burr under the saddle" if they didn't like things. on Facebook Share If the City has engaged Urban Systems and a volunteer committee to draft up a Parks & Rec.

Crashcrippleton asked over 7 years agoHi Crashcrippleton,
It is important to remember that the job of committees is to provide feedback and guidance to Council. Council ultimately has to make the decision to endorse the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and needs to feel confident in the process that was followed. This is a standard approach across municipal government.
