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.

The opportunity for public feedback will follow any further revisions resulting from the council session and will take place in late October through early November.

The project remains on schedule and the final master plan is expected to be available for council consideration in early December.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:

The approved budget for the West Shore Parks & Recreation Facilities Master Plan project is $140,000. To date, $66,353 has been incurred, which has been included in the quarterly financial status report for the Society members’ financial officers.
