Draft Master Plan, Draft Idlewild Community Survey and open house information panels available online now

The City of Cranbrook has been busy updating its Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The last plan was prepared in 1995, set the framework for many of the facilities we now enjoy, such as Rotary Way Cycle/Walk trail, as well as the new arena and aquatic centre.

The new Master Plan will guide the planning, design and use of parks, trails, recreation facilities, and community programs/services for the next 10 years.

Since April 2015, the community has provided input on the plan through a variety of avenues. In addition to a community survey, the community was engaged through nine visioning workshops including two general public sessions. Citizens were also encouraged to send emails or letters at any time.

Now, a draft Master Plan has been completed and it is time to ask for your participation once more.

You are invited to an open house on Thursday November 26, from 3 to 9 p.m., at Western Financial Place to review and comment on the draft recommendations for the City of Cranbrook Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

For those unable to attend the open house event, the panels will be on display beginning this afternoon (Wednesday, November 25), and will be up through the open house event on Thursday evening. Please drop in at your leisure, or during the hockey game to have a look.

You can also view the draft Master Plan, the draft Idlewild Community Survey, the open house information panels and the open house comment form online on the City of Cranbrook website at www.cranbrook.ca and click on ‘Parks & Rec Master Plan’ under the ‘City of Cranbrook Links’ on the homepage.

Email your comments using the open house comment form to [email protected] or drop off your comments to the Leisure Services desk at Western Financial Place by Monday, Dec. 14.

You can also complete the feedback form online.

Feedback from the community will be forwarded to the consultant for review.
