You’re invited to fulfill an important role. Help shape the future of parks and recreation in Salmon Arm. The City of Salmon Arm will be holding a public workshop on Wednesday, April 11, 6 to 8 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, to help set priorities, goals and objectives for the next 10 years, with a 20-year horizon. The workshop will provide input which will help form the city’s parks and recreation master plan, as well as the cemetery master plan.
“Public input is key to success,” says the city’s Brad Ackerman, noting the plans will influence future budget decisions. A first draft will be prepared with a second public workshop to be held, probably in July.
Don’t hang up
As part of the information-gathering process for the city’s parks and recreation and cemetery master plans, a phone survey will be ongoing for the next six weeks. The Mustel Group has been hired to carry out seven- to 10-minute surveys of area residents, in order to get feedback on priorities for parks, the arena, the pool, the community centre – and more – over the next five, 10, 15 and 20 years. The phone survey will be combined with input from the public meeting to be held April 11.
