2025 Year End Progress Report - West Shore Regional Parks & Recreation Facilities Master Plan

MUNICPAL OWNER REPRESENTATIVES

WSPR STAFF REPORT

RECOMMENDATION:

That the West Shore Parks & Recreation Society Members receive this report for information.

BACKGROUND:

The West Shore Parks & Recreation Society members (WSPRS) approved funding for a regional parks & recreation facilities master plan that will evaluate the current state of parks & recreation facilities on the Westshore and develop a 10- to 20- year road map to address the growing sporting and recreational needs of the community.

Progress updates will be provided by the WSPRS CAO quarterly or following key project milestones.

DISCUSSION:

Following the consultants’ presentation of the West Shore Regional Parks & Recreation Facilities Master Plan’s third draft to the Society members in late September, those member comments that have been received thus far, have resulted in an anticipated expansion of the project scope, which has pushed the project into 2026. Once all member feedback has been received, an updated project timeline will be reviewed for approval by WSPRS staff and shared with the Society board of directors and member CAOs. Any increases to project costs will be borne by the WSPRS 2026 operating budget.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:

The approved budget for the West Shore Parks & Recreation Facilities Master Plan project is $140,000. To date, $127,747 has been incurred, which has been included in the latest financial status report for the Society members’ financial officers.

Respectfully Submitted,

Grant Brown, Chief Administrative Officer
