Recreation Master Plan Public Engagement - September 14 |
|
The Township of Wellesley is working with MGA McQueen Galloway Associates to create a 10-year Recreation Master Plan. With extensive experience creating parks and recreation master plans, MGA understands communities like the Township of Wellesley and the complexity of balancing community needs with the many hamlets within the Township. The Recreation Master Plan will provide the Township the necessary framework to identify strategic priorities in the short, medium, and long term and will further refine the framework for the operational model for the Township of Wellesley Recreation Complex. One of the key components of the Master Plan is building on stakeholder and community organizations who have an investment in recreation. As a key stakeholder with an interest and investment in the future of the Township of Wellesley’s recreation and wellbeing, you are invited to attend a public workshop on September 14, 2023, at 7:00pm at Crosshill Mennonite Church at 2537 Hutchison Road. The consultants will have a short presentation and then the community members will have their opportunity to share insights on the gaps, priorities and opportunities for parks and recreation in the Township in a small table format. If individuals or organizations are not available to attend the workshop you can organize a meeting with our consultants directly. Your conversation would only be 30 minutes long and will be facilitated by one of the consultants who are leading this important Master Plan. The following virtual times are available: Tuesday, September 19 – 9:00am- 12:00pm Tuesday, September 19 – 5:30pm – 8:30pm Please respond to Kim, at 519 699 3958 or email Kbarfoot@wellesley.ca and let us know that you will be attending the Parks and Recreation Master Plan workshop on September 14th or which time is best for you to have a 1 on 1 meeting. We encourage you to forward this email to your board members and your membership database. We are excited to get this project underway and could not do this without your feedback. Thank you!
