City Of Campbell River Developing A Parks, Recreation And Culture Master Plan

The City of Campbell River is developing a Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan which will set priorities for the next ten years.

It will also guide how the City provides and invests in facilities, programs, and events, identifying opportunities to address gaps, build on strengths, and meet future needs and trends.

Each household in Campbell River has been mailed a postcard with a unique access code for the survey, which is estimated to take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete.

To complete the survey, visit getinvolved.campbellriver.ca and enter the access code.

Jason Locke, Acting Director of Community Planning and Livability, says the master plan impacts many Campbell River residents and visitors, and contributes to wellness, community vibrancy, and quality of life.

He says feedback from residents is important to ensure the plan meets the community’s needs and reflects the priorities and interests of the whole community.

For individuals who do not receive a postcard with a unique access code in the coming days or wish to have multiple household members complete a survey, an open, non-coded, version of the survey will be made available online and at the Campbell River Sportsplex, Community Centre, and City Hall on Monday.

Feedback provided through the survey and other engagement and research methods, including benchmarking, community meetings, facility usage data and more, will help the City better understand residents’ participation preferences, levels of satisfaction, and potential future priorities.

A draft of the Master Plan will be made available before the final version is completed and considered by Council for adoption.

It is anticipated that the Master Plan will be completed sometime this year.
