Past engagement

A virtual Public Information Centre was launched on October 28, 2022 to introduce the project and provide people with an opportunity to review the alternative site plan solutions developed to address challenges, constraints, and opportunities affecting the park. A survey ran until November 28, 2022.

We also held a Public Open House on January 18, 2023 for people to view the park concepts, ask questions, provide comments, and vote on their preferred concepts. The open house was followed by a Special Council Meeting, which included a staff presentation, open forum, and council discussion.
