The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) is currently working on Park Management Plans for two of its parks in Electoral Area G and is looking for community input as part of the planning process.

“Staff is currently working on management plans for the Edgewater School Path and the Wilmer Community Park,” said RDEK Electoral Area G Director Roberta Schnider. “Though both sites are unique, one thing they have in common is their importance as community assets. We would like to hear from residents about things they would like to see considered as part of the management plans.”

Park Management Plans are intended to provide strategic direction and guidance for the RDEK, community associations, and stewards of the parks for the next 15-20 years.

To help gather resident feedback, a project page has been set up, and comments are being taken until 4:30 p.m. on March 13.

Those without computer access can contact the RDEK directly and ask to speak to Ryan Penney, Planner.

“Having the input from area residents will help make these plans stronger, so I encourage people to visit the project page and leave their comments and ideas,” added Schnider.

Management plans address topics such as site planning, development, recreation, access management, public safety, maintenance, control of invasive plants, threats from wildfire and more.
