Residents in Coalhurst are invited to have their say in the development of a Recreation Master Plan for the community. Once complete, the Master Plan will guide how recreation and parks opportunities and services are planned and delivered in Coalhurst over the next 10+ years.
“Having community members involved in the process to build a Recreation Master Plan is critical to its success,” said Coalhurst Mayor Lyndsay Montina. “We want to hear how residents currently spend their time in the community, what their vision is for recreation in the future, and what we could do to achieve that vision. By having residents involved in the planning process, Council will be better informed when it comes time to make decisions about what types of projects to pursue and how those projects may be funded.”
There are multiple ways for residents to provide input for the Master Plan.
PUBLIC SURVEY: Residents are encouraged to watch their mailbox over the next few days for a postcard with a QR code that has a direct link to the online survey. If you don’t receive the postcard or are unable to use the QR code, you can also access the survey by clicking this link.
Paper copies of the survey can also be picked up from the Town Office during regular business hours, Monday – Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. each day. The survey will close Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
OPEN HOUSES: Three open houses will take place later this month. There is no registration required and participants don’t have to have any prior knowledge about recreation facilities or programs in Coalhurst in order to offer meaningful input. Beverages and kids’ activities will be included, so please feel free to bring the family.
One open house will be specifically for youth aged 11 to 17 (Friday afternoon), while the other two open houses will be for the general public (Friday evening and Saturday morning).
