Residents of the Comox Valley are invited to learn about the path ahead for proposed field, ice and aquatic recreation facility upgrades at information sessions this month.

“Ensuring the community has access to enjoyable, affordable and accessible recreational facilities is a key task for the CVRD,” said Melanie McCollum, Chair, Comox Valley Recreation Commission.

“Making an informed, fiscally-responsible plan to maintain and expand these facilities is an important piece of achieving this goal.”

The CVRD is hosting two community information sessions on work done to date to assess current facilities and use and advise on the next steps in the Comox Valley Recreation Commission’s strategic planning direction.

An open house is taking place on Tuesday, June 20th, from 5pm to 7pm, at the Comox Valley Sports Centre.

That will be followed by an online Zoom webinar, 12pm to 1pm, on Thursday the 22nd.

The CVRD says the studies, assessments and public outreach over the last few years have laid the groundwork for the proposed facility improvements.

Before any construction begins, there are still a number of studies and work to be completed.
